BOURBON FRIED APPLES
This is a slightly healthier spin on traditional fried apples. The skin is left on, and the reduced butter and sugar are offset with flavor-boosting bourbon, raisins, cinnamon, and lemon juice. I use Cameos for this recipe, as they are naturally sweet and hold their shape well, but if you're using a tarter variety, you may wish to increase the brown sugar and omit the lemon juice. Golden rum can substitute for the bourbon.

Steps:
- Heat the butter over high in a 12 inch skillet until frothy. Add the apples. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Syrup will become thick, apples soft, and pan almost dry. Add the cream and cook, uncovered, until juice is syrupy, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in bourbon. Let stand another minute to allow alcohol to evaporate.

- Don't overcook the apples: Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape.
