📝 Ingredients

• 5 apples - cored (sliced, and peeled)
• 4 tablespoons real butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt to taste
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 th cup pecan pieces

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1First, cut your apples (apple slicer works great for even slices) and then peel remaining skin off apple slices.
2. 2Melt down butter in skillet on medium heat, this should only take a few minutes.
3. 3Add peeled apples, sugars, lemon, salt, pecans and cinnamon on top of apples
4. 4Stir apples. As you stir, the sugar will start to break down and become a syrupy liquid.
5. 5Keep coating and stirring apples on Medium-High heat for approximately 6 minutes.
6. 6If the liquid is evaporating too quickly or starting to burn down, you can adjust the temperature down to medium or medium low heat.
7. 7After 6 minutes, add a lid and let the apples finish sauteing down on Medium-low heat for approx 6 more minutes, or until they are crisp tender. You should be able to use a fork or butter knife to cut through them, but not be mushy. They may need a few additional minutes depending on how many apples you have in your pan.
8. 8Serve hot for breakfast or a side dish
