FRIED APPLES

When Jarrell was 4 and was taken off sugar, I used this as a substitute for applesauce. You can't have Pork Chops without Applesauce. Now we would rather have fried apples

6 Med Red Delicious Apples

1 stick butter

1/2 tsp salt

1 TBS cinnamon

Sugar if desired

Peel, core and slice apples. Melt butter in a heavy skillet. When hot, add apples. Sauté on med-high for 5 minutes, stirring. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon. Cover and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook another 7-10 minutes, until desired doneness. If you need a little extra sweetness add splenda.

You can use granny smith apples if you need a little tartness. I like the red delicious because they are sweeter. Or use 3 and 3.

I use a lot more butter than your average recipe. Sorry. It makes a good sauce and Carson likes to put the leftovers on Ice Cream.
