Why I Love This Recipe

We like this without the cranberries added and over ice cream. Good just to eat in a sauce dish without anything else.

usually prepare this dessert just before serving because I love the aroma in my kitchen as the apples cook. But, I have found that it can be made early in the day, refrigerated in a covered container, and reheated in the microwave for about 2 minutes on HIGH. The warm apples are delicious served over premium vanilla ice cream, with gingersnaps, or over slices of gingerbread cake. Or, top the warm apples with vanilla yogurt and add a sprinkling of granola or chopped pecans.


Ingredients You'll Need

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 crisp, semi-sweet apples (such as Braeburn or Granny Smith), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tsp. pur vanilla extract
Ground nutmet (preferable freshly grated) for garnish


Directions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar; stir for about 1 minute or until it begins to melt.


Add the apples; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the apples are tender and the butter is lightly browned.


Meanwhile, put the cranberries in a small microwave-proof custard cup with 2 tablespoons water. Cover with waxed paper and microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes or until the cranberries are softened. Drain any water remaining.


Stir the half-and-half, vanilla, and softened cranberries into the apples. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for about 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens.


Serve warm in small dessert bowls. Garnish with nutmeg.
