Begin by preparing your apples. Core and slice them into thin wedges, ensuring they are evenly cut for consistent cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble slightly without browning.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and stir to coat them in the melted butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice over the apples. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.
Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still hold their shape. You want them to be soft enough to bite through but not mushy.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the cinnamon apples warm, optionally adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
