  3. Add apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the skillet. Stir and let cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and caramelized.

Notes

You can caramelize apples ahead of time and assemble just before baking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
