Mom’s Southern Stewed Apples

The other day was Em’s 7th Birthday!

 I cannot believe enough time has passed to be able to say that.

I always try to make everyone’s favorite dinner for their birthday.  My mom has always done that and it always made me feel so special.  I have tried to continue this tradition with my own family.

One of her favorite things is my Mom’s Stewed Apples.  She can eat enough to make her sick…… and I don’t blame her.  I have to hold back myself.

 

They are SOOOOO good!

 

First, take some Granny Smith Apples.  (I use the whole bag because I like to make a lot)

Peel, core, and slice.  ( I use a peeler first, then put them under this handy little baby made by Pampered Chef)

 

I fill them up in the pot first to see how high they go.  Then I put them into a seperate bowl while I ……..

Melted half a stick of butter in the saucepan,

 

Added some Cinnamon,

And for whatever reason, felt there wasn’t enough butter, so I added another half stick of butter.  Yes, there is now 1 whole stick of butter in the recipe and YES!  I’m SORRY!  : D

 

Then I added a 1/2 cup of sugar and mixed until it was dissolved.

Add the apple slices.

 

 

Toss the apples until they are completely coated in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and allow to simmer for 45 minutes.

This is what they looked like after 20 minutes.

 

And this is what they looked like after 45 minutes.  Softened and DELICIOUS!

Complete YUMMINESS!
