Recipe: Apples Two Ways (fried or baked)

APPLES TWO WAYS (FRIED OR BAKED)

SAUTEED APPLES

2 firm, tart apples
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Apple juice or water (if needed)

Peel, core, and slice or dice apples.

Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add apples and saute for five minutes, stirring often.

Add cinnamon and sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender. Add a splash of water or juice while the apples are cooking if they stick to the skillet.

BAKED APPLES

2 firm, tart apples
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut apples in half and core. Place halves, cut side down, in an oiled baking dish.

Bake until tender, 15-20 minutes.

While apples bake, combine sugar and cinnamon. When apples are done, turn over and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
