Stewed Apples

We are still harvesting apples from our tree just a few feet from the kitchen door. Thus, stewed apples are my current breakfast with a heaping tablespoon of low fat plain yogurt stirred in. Yummm!









Ingredients:

3 pounds apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
Ground cinnamon, good sprinkling
Ground ginger, good sprinkling
Ground nutmeg, good sprinkling
Honey, about 2 tablespoons
One lemon, squeezed
1/2 cup flaked almonds (optional)
1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Put all the above ingredients into a large pan. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a small amount of apple juice or water if apples become dry.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
