Ingredients
- 3 (500g / 17.6 oz.) large 3 cups Gala Apples or Granny Smith Apples
- 60 g salted butter
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar / caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into even sliced wedges.
- Cook Butter and Sugar: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Simmer Apples: Add the sliced apples to the pot and bring the mixture back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and fork-tender, not mushy. Remove from heat.
- Serve: Enjoy your stewed apples warm as a dessert topping over ice cream or pancakes. Alternatively, serve them as a side dish with pork or as a filling for crumbles, pies and pastries.
