Materials

6 - 8 medium apples preferably Granny Smith
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar
good pinch of salt
1½ tsp apple pie spice mix
¼ + 2 tbsp cup water
2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Peel, core, and cut the apple into thin slices or chunks (whichever you prefer). Place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss to coat and set aside.
In a large pan over medium heat, add your butter, brown sugar, salt, apple pie spice mix, and ¼ cup of water. Stir frequently and bring to a low simmer.
Dump in the apples, including any liquid from the bowl. Stir to coat the apples in the butter mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant.
Meanwhile, mix together 2 tbsp of water and 2 tbsp of cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a light boil and cook for another minute to thicken.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
