Crispy Cinnamon Apple Saute

This is a season recipe, and since Christmas is almost here I decided to post some recipes, beginning with this one, recipes that are easy to make, good for your health, without too many ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 large Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into 1/3 – inch thick slices
2 teaspoons of butter
2 teaspoons of sugar
150 gr raisins
100 gr orange juice
50 gr apricot jam (or you can use peach jam)
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (which gives the Christmas flavor that I love)
1/8 teaspoon allspice

The way to do it right:

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet; then add the apple slices.Cook, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes or until the apples get golden brown.Stir in remaining ingredients (all but the sugar – you don’t need that sugar with the other ingredients now); cook, stirring, about 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

Here comes the interesting part:

After your sauce thickens, get a nonstick skillet, and put the sugar in it, cook for 3-5 minutes stirring until the sugar melts, and becomes caramelized. When the caramelized sugar is still hot, dress your apple’s with it (poor caramel on top of the apples)

Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, French toast or hot cereal. Bon apetit !
