These are the best apples we have had yet! I used Red Delicious apples and didnt have brandy or cognac so substituted apple cider. Didnt add the pecans because I served this along side pork chops and baked potatoes. So good warm and cant wait to make these for dessert! Thank you twissis for the wonderful recipe. -
Yum-O!! It doesn't get any simpler than this. We served this warm over French Vanilla ice cream - only problem was - the ice cream started melting, lol. But even that worked out well. Thanks twissis for another winner! -
Sinfully satisfying! I had some of this spooned over Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee ice cream--so good, you would not believe. But it's also great just to spoon up by itself. I've only eaten it cold, so far; hopefully, hot is in my future. By the way, I didn't have cognac, but I did use brandy.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
