Start by washing the ripe apples thoroughly under cool running water. Peel them if desired, then slice into thin segments about ¼ inch thick.

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and start bubbling, about 1-2 minutes.

Gently add the prepared apple slices to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar along with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples. Fold gently to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Continue cooking the apple mixture for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender yet retain some shape.

Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the apples, stirring gently to combine before serving.
