Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 slightly tart or mixed-used apples. try using a mix - Cameo, Winesap, and Jonathan, for example. Note: Red Delicious will get mushy.
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter Regular butter works well too!
  • .3 cup local honey
  • 2 tbsp toasted almond slices hazelnuts or pecans would do nicely as well

Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. While the oven is preheating, peel, core and dice apples into 1/2 pieces.
  3. Heat the butter in the cast-iron skillet over medium heat until bubbly. If you are using real butter, a nice touch is to let it heat until browned.
  4. Add the apple pieces, stirring occasionally until nice and golden, with slightly caramelized edges. The pieces should still be firm.
  5. Once the apples are golden, add the honey. Stir and cook for 5 minutes or until sticky and more golden. They should still be firm.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the apples are done to your preference. I prefer a bit firmer apple but you may prefer a softer result.
  7. Serve in a bowl or pudding cup. Top with toasted almonds or your topping of choice.
