BOURBON FRIED APPLES

Bourbon Fried Apples image

This is a slightly healthier spin on traditional fried apples. The skin is left on, and the reduced butter and sugar are offset with flavor-boosting bourbon, raisins, cinnamon, and lemon juice. I use Cameos for this recipe, as they are naturally sweet and hold their shape well, but if you're using a tarter variety, you may wish to increase the brown sugar and omit the lemon juice. Golden rum can substitute for the bourbon.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Bourbon whiskey
2 large apples, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

Combine water, butter, and Bourbon in a large skillet over medium heat; stir until butter melts. Add apples, raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon; stir to coat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until apples have softened and liquid has reduced to a syrup, about 10 minutes. Stir lemon juice into apples and serve warm.
