Delicious Skillet Apples
"This makes a great dessert to make when apples are in season. I actually use this recipe in place of apple pie filling for my recipe#91423 but it makes a great dessert topped with vanilla ice cream. The amounts listed will serve 3-4 people, but can easily be doubled if desired, adjust the brown sugar and cinnamon to taste."

Outstanding! I doubled the recipe and used 6 tsp of cornstarch for a thicker consistency. These apples came out beautifully! I used them to top a cheesecake and drizzled the apples with a little caramel. Thanks so much for this recipe - I am in awe of you and you make me look so good!! :) -
This so worked! My clients have been loading me up with apples...I needed and easy way to use them up. This worked well as an apple pie filling and something to toss in the fridge. -
A very nice apple dish. I used to top Germn Pancake #29847. Instead of chopping the apples I sliced then. My family loves cooked apples and this will be added to my keepers. Thanks Kittencal. Bullwinkle. -
Easy, simple, quick, and delicious. Tastes like much more time and effort were put forth. I served as a side dish to a breakfast scramble and they were a real crowd pleaser. I used 4 lg. granny smith apples, unsalted butter, 3/4 C. light brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and the nutmeg. The sauce was like caramel and I know it would be great on ice cream but the bowl was empty so I guess I'll just have to make some more. I may use just 2 tsp. of cornstarch for a more loose sauce. Either way can't go wrong with this recipe. A must try, you won't be sorry. Thanks Kitten for another keeper!
