Skillet Caramelized Apples with Butter
A dessert on its own — and a pie filling too! The nice thing about this dessert is that you can serve it by itself or use it as a delicious filling for pies and hand pies. You can swap the sugar for brown sugar (even tastier) or honey. Tart-sweet apples work best.

- Making caramelized apples starts with prepping the apples. Wash them, peel them, cut each into eight wedges, and remove the core. Melt the butter in a skillet and fry the apples until golden — they'll soften a bit. Now add the sugar and keep cooking so all the wedges caramelize and get coated in a sugary caramel. Stir gently so you don't break up the whole wedges (this matters if you're serving them as a stand-alone dessert; for a pie filling it doesn't). Watch closely so nothing burns. Once the apples are coated in caramel, take them off the heat and let them cool. From here, go by what you're making. For a dessert, arrange the apples nicely on a plate (you can use a cookie cutter or ring mold), then spoon the caramel left in the skillet over the top. Decorate however you like — a mint leaf is nice. These caramelized apples also work as a pie filling: just use them in place of jam or preserves. Delicious!
