Start by peeling and slicing the apples into thin wedges.
Make sure the slices are even for uniform cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples.
Gently stir until all the apple slices are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
Add the lemon juice and water to the skillet.
Cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes.
Stir occasionally until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and let the apples cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
This helps concentrate the flavors.
