Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the apple slices evenly.

3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated apple slices and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until the sugar has caramelized and the apples are tender.

4. Transfer the candied apple slices to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.

5. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the coating is crisp and golden brown.

6. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a variation, try adding a pinch of ground ginger or a splash of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. The candied apple slices can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
