Fried Apples a la Cle Dunstan
Back in college, our friends Ed & Cle Dunstan invited us over for dinner. Cle made fried apples, and they were SOOO GOOD!!! I got her recipe (which I couldn’t find tonight). I don’t measure the ingredients, just sort of play it by taste! Here’s how I make them now. I use Macintosh or Rome apples. A tarter apple makes a better dish with lots of good apple flavor!
Melt a little butter in a cast iron (or other heavy-metal) skillet.
Melt in brown sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of nutmeg. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Add cored, sliced apples (skins or not, your preference, but leaving skins on gives a nice pink color to it)
Stir to get the butter/sugar mix in contact with all the apples.
Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.
Serve warm with dinner.
Left-overs can be refrigerated and served warmed or cold.
