The aromoa is wonderful. It can also 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. Read more . Or, top the warm apples with vanilla yogurt and add a sprinkling of granola or chopped pecans. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 crisp, semisweet 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 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
ground nutmeg (preferably freshly grated) for garnish |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar; stir for about 1 minute or until it begins to melt.
2. Add the apples; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the apples are tender and the butter is lightly browned.
3. 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.
4. 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.
