Caramelized Apples
- Heat a 12-inch skillet to medium high.
- Add in the butter and allow to melt and foam.
- Add in the apples and allow them to start to caramelize.
- Sprinkle in the brown sugar and toss.
- Continue to cook, tossing every few minutes, until the sugar and apples are nicely caramelized.
- Add in the lemon juice, toss, then remove from heat and reserve.
Note: Caramelized apples works as a garnish for vanilla ice cream. If you want more caramel sauce, double the sugar and allow it to caramelize with cooking the apples. Finish with an extra pat of butter.
