"Simply Amazing"

I don't make dessert too often... even though I have a whole book full of recipes from when I used to bake desserts for weddings and banquets at the Pointe on South Mountain.  (That was before law school of course..)

This little number isn't in that book though.  We just had way too many apples in the house tonight so I was going to make an apple side dish.  After I cooked them, they looked like they just HAD to have some ice cream next to them (or on top of them, or under them..)  :-)

It came together very quickly:

SAUTEED APPLES WITH BROWN SUGAR AND CINNAMON:

Just peel a couple apples, cut them in half and use a knife to cut the core and stem out.
Sprinkle the insides with cinnamon.
Get a frying pan and melt a couple tablespoon of butter, then sprinkle sugar over the melted butter.
Lay the apples in the pan on top of the sugar, cinnamon side down.
Now sprinkle the "round" side of the apple with cinnamon and sugar.
Let the apples cook for a few minutes until the "down" side is a little brown (caramelized!).
Turn them over and add a tiny bit of water to the pan and cover it.
In a couple minutes, the apples will be cooked.
The water, sugar and butter will have turned into a sweet cinnamony syrup.
Put the apples in a bowl with some ice cream, and spoon the syrup over the apples and ice cream.
