Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the apples are tender and the sugar has dissolved, creating a syrupy consistency.
- Pour in the lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Serve warm directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving bowl.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of chopped pecans or walnuts to the dip in the last minute of cooking.
- This dip can be made ahead of time and gently reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Ensure apples are diced into roughly uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Serve with a variety of dippers such as graham crackers, shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh apple slices.
