Place the slices in a bowl of cold lemon water to prevent browning. Soak for 5 or 10 minutes
and then drain the apples and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet, heat
the butter until it is bubbling.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and continue to cook over medium high heat for approximately
5 minutes or until tender crisp and beginning to brown. Turn several times to brown evenly.
Add the brown sugar and continue to cook until sugar has melted and started to
caramelize.
Apple slices should be tender. Serve as a side dish while still warm.
