These were delicious, but incredibly sweet to me. Mike and Jessica both thought that they were fine. I think that the brown sugar could be halved. I also think that the apples, as is, would make a great filling for a fried pie (maybe chopped up a bit smaller).
6 small to medium crisp apple
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 T. ground cinnamon
Recipe
Peel and core the apples and chop into bite sized pieces. Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are as tender as you like them. [Mine took almost 20 minutes – most of the time with the lid on].
When the apples are tender, stir in the brown sugar (see note above). Continue stirring until the sugar has dissolved and has the consistency of caramel. Let apples cook for another 5 minutes, stirring as needed.
