Eating...

The simplest apple "recipe" this fall. I had a few lonely apples, not enough for a pie or a tart.

Chunky spiced apples
{chunky spiced apples}

Cored and roughly chopped, tossed in a saucepan with a few glugs of apple cider, a healthy dash of cinnamon and pinches of nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Covered and cooked over low heat until apples are soft, approximately 15 minutes.

To be enjoyed on a chilly fall afternoon, while curled under an afghan. Bonus points for eating it hot and adding a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream.

  1. Mmm. One of my favorites as well. Love the way that the smell permeates the whole house while these are on the stove.

  12. I have to chime in to give you another simple option if you only have one apple.

    faux apple pie -

    thinly sliced apple
    buttered bread slices
    cinammon/sugar
    slice of cheese

    stack it all up, cheese on top and bake in oven or even a toaster oven until the cheese melts and the apples start to get soft.

    Heavenly!
