RECIPES FOR STEWED APPLES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a 10" skillet (w/lid) melt butter over medium heat; turn off heat.
• Mix in sugar and brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and add 1/2 cup water, stirring to combine.
• Bring mixture to a boil and allow to boil until beginning to thicken.
• Reduce heat to medium; stir in apple slices, turning to coat.
• Cook over medium to medium high heat 4-5 minutes, stirring, allowing sauce to continue to thicken.
• Reduce heat to low, cover apples and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, another 5-10 minutes, adding more water if necessary, until apples are tender (cooking time will depend on the thickness of your apple slices).
• Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and grease a 1.5-litre baking dish with butter.
  2. Peel, core and chop the apples, then place in a pan with 50g of the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cover and cook, stirring now and then, for 8 minutes, or until the apple breaks down. Spoon into your dish, leaving the excess liquid in the pan.
  4. Beat the eggs with the remaining 50g of sugar until fluffy, then stir in the vanilla extract, sift in the flour and spice and fold together.
  5. Pour the batter over the apples and bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean from the sponge.
  6. Dust with icing sugar before serving. Delicious served hot with ice cream or custard.
