Instructions

Okay, this recipe is pretty advanced and the directions get really tricky, so pay attention. Ready?

Step 1: Saute the apples in butter.

Um, that’s the end.

Really. Just cook ‘em til their golden. They go from this:

To this:

And then you serve and plop a nice heaping of homemade whipped cream on top! There’s a recipe in NT, of course. Page 541.

How’d it go?

Well, it took a little longer than I had expected for the apples to caramelize and brown, but other than that, the hardest part was whipping my cream by hand with a whisk! Definitely don’t skimp on the whipped cream, by the way.

How we liked it

Holy amazingness with cream on top. Literally. I couldn’t believe how good this was and that I had gone my whole life without eating it. I grew up in Washington state where apples abound, yet I had never had them cooked, except for in apple pie. Sauteed apples are so delicious, and with only two ingredients! I was so tempted to add some cinnamon, or honey, or something else to make it a little more interesting, but it really doesn’t need it. This is a fantastic dessert you can feel good about eating — no added sugar, just fruit and the healthy saturated fats you need (as with any fruits or vegetables) to help assimilate all the nutrients! You HAVE to try this!

This looks fabulous! I love recipes like this with so few ingredients. I saw a recipe somewhere for maple whipped cream – I think I have to try them together.

I love making sautéed apples! They are also really good to put on top of little grain-free pancakes made from peanut butter, eggs, & bananas. With lots of ghee, too, of course!
