My preferred apple variety for this recipe is Braeburn as slices hold their shape when cooked.

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

• Cut each apple quarter into 2 or 3 wedges. Place butter into a heavy-based fry pan set over a medium heat and melt butter.
• Add apples and toss well to coat apples in butter. Cook apples, tossing them in butter as they cook, for 2 or 3 minutes, or till they begin to exude juices.
• Sprinkle apples with sugar and stir till sugar has dissolved.
• Continue to cook apples over a medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, or till apples are caramelised to a golden-brown colour, and fork-tender. Remove apples from frypan to a shallow bowl so they cool quickly.
• When cool add lemon zest and stir to combine.
