Mthe Gm doesn't like fried apples or pears? They are one of the best ways of preparing them. Use as a side dish to meat or poultry.

FRIED APPLES

3 tablespoons butter
3 tart apples, *quartered and sliced
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons brown granulated sugar as garnish.

Heat butter at medium heat in a non-stick skillet.
Add apples, cover and cook for about 5 minutes
Uncover and cook 2-3 minutes more**, until sugar is absorbed and apples slightly browned on bottom.
Put apples in serving dish and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Use as side dish to pork, ham, chicken, or serve with your bacon and egg breakfast.

*Southerners usually leave the apple slices or wedges unpeeled.
**Cook so that the apples are to your taste- I like them firm, so I reduce the cooking time.

A great "5 a day" fruit.

My 5 a day is 5 cups coffee with 5 biscotti.
