- 3 large, flavorful apples, unpeeled
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Pinch salt, if using unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch nutmeg, cloves, or other apple-friendly spices, as desired
Instructions
- 1
Core the apples and slice into eight wedges (or slice however you think looks best). I use one of those round corer-slicer things.

Place a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Stir in the apples, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are tender and juicy.

Sprinkle with salt, sugar, and spices; stir together. Taste and add more sugar, salt, or spices if necessary. Let simmer a few minutes, until the sugar and butter have formed a rich sauce.
