I had a little treat awhile ago. I sliced up apples, like you would
for a pie. I melted butter in a pan, and added some brown sugar.

Once I had a little sauce going, I added a few Craisins, and chopped
walnuts. Then, the sliced apples. It makes a great desert stir-fry.

My grandkids also like it when I make it at breakfast time.

I bet it would be great on top of oatmeal.

They are delicious, and they are very quick and easy to make. They go
really well with all kinds of meals - most anytime of the day.

I forgot to tell you one of the most IMPORTANT ingredients - that's
CINNAMON. So if you try this at home, please remember it, or the
recipe won't be nearly as good.

And, you only need 6 ingredients, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon,
apples, craisins, and walnuts. I nearly always have those ingredients
on hand.

I've served them with ham, pork tenderloin, turkey, and roast beef.
And with Ravioli, and creamy Chipotle lime sauce.

In the mornings, I've served them with scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits.


As a variation, in Autumn, It's sometimes delightful to hollow out a
pumpkin without carving a face in it. And then stuff the sliced raw
apples into the pumpkin. I make the sauce which I would normally stir
fry them in, and drizzle the sauce over the apple slices once they are
in the pumpkin.

I place the stuffed pumpkin in a water bath using a roaster pan, with
1" of water in the bottom. I put it in the oven for an hour and a half
or so. You can also put it in a crock pot, and let it do it's thing
all day. About 1/2 hour before it's done, you take a tablespoon, and
carve out some of the inside of the pumpkin and mix it into the apple
mixture gently.

They are great served hot or cold. I usually cook up a pretty good
batch of them. I serve them hot initially, but have leftovers to serve
cold later, or to heat up once again in the microwave.

Note taken!

I usually have these on hand, too.

One of my first thoughts was to mixed it with cooked wild rice. I love
fruit addeed to wild rice as an accompaniment to meat.

A great breakfast idea! Would turn the humdrum into a drum roll. :-)

I could see the same idea being used with acorn squash, too. A good choice
if you're only cooking for two.

I could also see this being used as a basis for an apple crisp.

My thoughts exactly...But you'd need a good granola topping...Alas I one I
have is only mediocre.

That would be good with vanilla ice cream on it.

Yeah, but almost ANYTHING is good with vanilla ice cream on it!

I hope you saved some for me!!! I never would have thought to
stir-fry apples, but I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

Thanks!

I'm sorry I didn't post the proportions of ingredients. Many of my
recipes are conjured up in my head. I just throw in some of this and
and a little bit of that. I don't even own a measuring spoon.

The recipe is very "forgiving." I've had different proportions most
everytime I've made it. You can create your own variations to your own
taste.

I had immediate visions of my Mother's "hard sauce"
(Which I haven't tasted in probly 50 years... Might be a good topping...)
