Spiced, stewed apples have been a wintry staple for me as long as I can remember.I love eating them with ice cream.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
approximately 3 1/2 cups of apples, sliced (I used 3 small gala)
1/4 cup sugar (I used slightly less, in a small effort to be “healthy”)
1/4 cup brown sugar (used slightly less, for the same reason as above)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup water
Directions:
In a skillet (with a lid), melt butter over medium heat. Turn off heat when butter is melted. Add sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the water to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring mixture to a boil and continue to boil until ingredients begin to thicken. Turn heat to medium and stir in apple slices, ensuring they are well-coated. Cook at medium for 4-5 minutes, stirring, to allow sauce to thicken. Reduce heat to low, cover apples, and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. This should take about another 5-10 minutes. Add more water if necessary, as cooking time will depend on how thick your apple slices are. Sauce will thicken a bit as it cools.
