Happy Friday Eve!
Here's a fun and easy dessert that you can make on even a super busy weeknight.
I can tell that you have worked hard this week and have done a great job not raiding the Halloween candy you bought too soon.
So in honor of how awesome you are -- here you go!
(if you don't like this then I don't think we can be friends anymore. seriously. )
Scalloped Apples
serves 8
4 Granny Smith apples
4 Golden Delicious apples
1/2 cup sugar (feel free to cut back)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup butter, sliced
vanilla ice cream and/or sweetened whipped cream (optional, for serving)
The Directions.
Use a 4-quart slow cooker. If you've only got a 6-quart, that's okay, just check on your apples after 3-4 hours on low.
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Curse yourself that you've never taken the plunge to purchase one of those cool apple gadget things...
Plop the apples into your slow cooker and toss the slices with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and butter slices.
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until apples have reached desired tenderness.
If you cook too long, the apples will turn into applesauce--- not a bad thing, but something to note!
The Verdict.
I like to serve our scalloped apples with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
(I use the stuff in the can. It's just who I am. If you would like to make your own, you should. It's not hard, I know. I'm just unbelievably lazy).
have a fantastic Friday eve!
