Ingredients

1 firm cooking apple (Granny Smith, Macintosh, or Wine sap)
3 Tbsp. cider, or apple juice
2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Cooking Instructions

Peel apple and cut in half vertically. Remove seeds with melon ball cutter or paring knife. Cut halves into 1/2-inch slices. Pour cider and syrup over apple slices in small nonstick skillet for stovetop cooking, or in 2-C. casserole to microwave. To cook on the stovetop, cover apple slices and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook 10 minutes, or until translucent. Stir once or twice, adding water, if necessary, to prevent sticking. To cook in microwave, cook, covered, on high 2 minutes. Stir and cook on high, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until tender. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
