Caramelized Apples

  1. Heat a 12-inch skillet to medium high.
  2. Add in the butter and allow to melt and foam.
  3. Add in the apples and allow them to start to caramelize.
  4. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and toss.
  5. Continue to cook, tossing every few minutes, until the sugar and apples are nicely caramelized.
  6. 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.
