APPLES TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Sautéed Apples
• Peel, core, and slice or dice the apples.
• Melt the butter in a skillet on medium-high heat, add the apples, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the cinnamon and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender. Add a splash of water or juice while the apples are cooking if they stick to the skillet.
• Baked Apples
• Preheat the oven to 400°. Cut the apples in half and core them. Place the halves cut-side down in an oiled baking dish. Bake until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the apples bake, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. When the apples are done, turn them over and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
• Serving & Menu Ideas
• Put some apples in the oven to bake with Roasted Vegetable Curry (page 53), Two Potato Gratin (page 48), or Green & White Bean Gratin (page 57). Or top vanilla ice cream with these apples while they are still hot. Serve leftover apples for breakfast on oatmeal or yogurt.
