Ingredients

• 5 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup water (plus more for slurry)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1

   Toss apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

   Melt butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Stir well and cover.

3. 3

   Cook apples: Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.

4. 4

   Thicken mixture: Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour this into the saucepan with apples. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
