    When Apples are cooked there will be a lot of juice. this will make them mushy. So take pan and strain apples, put in bowl to rest. You may serve them after they have rested 5 minutes.
  • Finished Apples! Fantastic Flavor and not Mushy.

    If you desire a thicker sauce, you may use the remainder of the drippings and cook down to make a simple syrup. By adding 1/4 cup sugar watching to make sure it does not burn. Pour over already cooked apples. This is a personal choice.
  • Served Apples as a side dish. Homemade Biscuits, Eggs over Easy and Crisp Bacon. Great way to start a morning. Don't forget a nice Cold glass of milk and cup of coffee.

    Serve with a great Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. They are wonderful by them selves.
