Skillet Apples with Cranberries

By sugarbear

Ingredients

• 6 large apples (Granny Smith or any cooking apple), peeled, cored, and thickly sliced
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 6 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• Whipped cream (optional garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a medium-size bowl to keep
the slices from turning brown. Set aside.

2.Melt butter in a large saucepan or skillet. Add apple slices and
sauté over medium heat—stirring constantly—for about 6-10 minutes, or
until tender and just beginning to change color.

3 Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir the mixture
into the apples. Gently stir in brown sugar and spices. Add
cranberries. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-5
minutes, stirring frequently.

4.Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
