Sautéed Apples—serves up to 4

I served this often to my B&B guests and they loved it.  It’s so easy to make and is so much better than store bought syrup to use for pancakes or waffles and you get the apples as well.  But don’t stop there, it’s great over ice cream as well.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (or a bit more if you wish) butter
• 2-3  large tart apples cored and sliced in large segments
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 to 1 cup hot water
• 1/4 -1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or another flavor if you wish
• Raisins (optional)

Directions

• In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add apples. Cook, stirring constantly, until apples are almost tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
• Dissolve the cornstarch, brown sugar and cinnamon In hot water in a microwaveable dish. Place in micro for 1 or more minutes.
• When apples are just about tender, pour heated liquid into the pan along with the optional raisins if you wish and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Hints: I started out with the lesser amounts of the hot water and brown sugar. After micro-heating and placing in pan with apples, you can always add more hot water.  If you wish to have more sugar, dissolve the sugar first in hot water and then add to pan.  But truthfully, I found that 1/4 C. brown sugar was plenty sweet enough.
