Don’t have all day to make an apple pie? Make this instead! You won’t even miss the crust! What a great way to use up some of those apples you have hanging around!
Spicy Cinnamon Apples
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 stick butter
4 medium (or 6 small) apples peeled, cored, sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
optional:
crumbled cookies, to taste.
(what’s in your cookie jar?? oatmeal raisin, shortbread, sugar cookies, gingersnaps. I bet any of those would be perfect!! These apples over a piece of pound cake would be
perfect too--just thought of that!!)
vanilla bean ice cream
INSTRUCTIONS:
Melt the butter in large saute pan.
When it’s melted and bubbly, whisk in the brown sugar and spices.
Add sliced apples.
Coat all of the apples with the butter mixture, turn down the heat and let the apples simmer until they are as soft as you like them, and the butter mixture has turned syrupy.
They’re done! Syrupy and spicy and delicious and don’t need a thing, you can serve them just like this, BUT...
This is when I crumbled up a few oatmeal raisin cookies that I made last week, stirred some of the cookie pieces into the apples, and reserved some to sprinkle on top.
I served the apples warm. (But, the leftovers, ice cold, straight from the fridge are delicious!)
Because this was a last minute dessert, I didn’t have any ice cream. But, some vanilla bean ice cream on top of these warm, spicy apples would have been heavenly!
Enjoy!!
BREAKFAST!! This would be also be an awesome topping for pancakes or waffles!
