Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

If you are looking for a recipe for stewed apples then look no further! This recipe is perfect as a delicious side item or an extra sweet topping with some ice cream and it's so easy.

Provided by Cathy Yoder

Categories     Desserts     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5-6 medium size apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala are great choices)
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Peel and core apples. Then slice or chop in a uniform size. The thinner they are, the more tender they'll be (and cook faster too). You should have about 7 cups of apples sliced up.
  • In a large 5 quart pot, mix together sugars and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water and heat over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to turn opaque.
  • Add butter and cinnamon, mixing well until it reaches a light boil.
  • Add apples and stir, coating apples with sugar mixture. You may be worried that the sauce is too thick, but it will thin out as apples simmer. Cover, simmer, and stir occasionally on low for about 20-30 minutes, or until apples reach desired tenderness.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm.
  • Leftovers should be stored covered securely in the fridge.

BEV'S OWN STEWED APPLES



Bev's Own Stewed Apples image

When fall rolls around, I find I have a craving for my mom's stewed apples. She never followed a recipe, but would somehow always manage to whip up the most flavorful apples you ever tasted! In an effort to recreate my mom's stewed apples, I came up with this recipe. We would usually have this as a side dish with supper, replacing applesauce. However, it would also be delicious served as a dessert with vanilla ice cream or over gingerbread or pound cake with a little whipped cream. I hope you will enjoy it!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples for stewing, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and won't become mushy when cooked.
  • Peel and core the apples: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. Be sure to remove all of the seeds and stems.
  • Cut the apples into uniform pieces: Cut the apples into 1-inch pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add sugar and spices: Add sugar and spices to the apples before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the apples.
  • Cover the pot: Cover the pot with a lid while the apples are cooking. This will help to keep the apples moist and juicy.
  • Simmer the apples: Simmer the apples over low heat until they are tender. This may take 30 minutes or more.
  • Stir the apples occasionally: Stir the apples occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Serve the apples warm or cold: Serve the apples warm or cold. They can be eaten on their own, or used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
