So this is just a basic recipe for caramelized apples, the same as one would make for pie filling, or a side of apples, or even applesauce, but this is what I did, and each serving was 95 calories. We gave this an 8 as a side dish, but again, it makes a great applesauce if allowed to cook down even more. We had this with the burger featured on Friday, and it went really well with it. Here's what I did:
1 1/2 peeled, cored and chopped Granny Smith apples
Juice from 1/2 lemon
3 T brown sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
2 T unsalted butter
dash of salt
Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the apples, lemon, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Let cook down, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, maybe a little longer depending on the size of your apples, and let the sugar caramelize. Serve.
This sounds more like a dessert than a side dish, but mainly because it is so sweet. Love you, mom
