Recipe from American Girls pastimes Addy’s Cookbook
4 Firm Apples
¼ cup water
1/3 cup of butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

Wash apples. Insert apple corer into the center of each apple and twist it to cut around the core. Remove the cores from all apples. Have an adult help you slice the apples into ½ inch rings on the cutting board. Measure water and butter into the skillet. Warm them over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the apple slices to the skillet. Cook them for about 10 minutes. Turn them once or twice with the spatula while they cook. Sprinkle the brown sugar and lemon juice over the slices. Gently turn all the slices to mix. Cover the skillet and remove it from the heat. Let the apples sit for 10 minutes and serve.
