Ingredients

3 apples, sliced thin Note 1
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup granulated white sugar
2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 Tablespoon apple pie spice
½ cup apple cider if needed, add more
1 Tablespoon corn starch

Instructions

Slice the apples thin and sprinkle with lemon juice, set aside. (No need to peel the apples)
In a small bowl, whisk together white sugar, brown sugar and apple pie spice. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar mixture and the apples.
While the apple mixture is cooking, whisk the cornstarch into the apple cider. Add the cider mixture to the skillet with the apples.
Continue to cook the apple mixture, stir occasionally, for about 6 minutes. The liquid will begin to bubble and thicken. The apples will be fork tender.
Remove from heat.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Great served over pancakes, waffles, or french toast.
