It must be something about the witching hour, because I usually don't even LIKE sweets all that much (I'm more of the "let's have some fruit and cheese for dessert" kind of gal). Still, when the cravings hit me, they hit hard.
This is a sweet, mildly healthy snack I made on a cold winter's night that gave me just enough sugar to go comatose and sleep for 8 hours (and it used up some apples that were on the verge of going bad)!
GOOEY HOT CINNAMON APPLES
Ingredients:
- 3 small "kid" apples (pretty much any kind of apple other than red delicious should work)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter
Melt butter in the bottom of a pan.
Add sugar & spices, blending thoroughly.
Throw in quartered apples.
Keep heat on medium-low until apples are soft and your mixture is gooey, stirring occasionally.
FUN FACT: This is basically the beginning step to every apple pastry filling recipe.
OTHER FUN FACT: I begin volunteering at a local food bank starting TOMORROW. Look for a report soon.
Items not dumpstered or donated: Butter, sugar, spices
