Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Brandy liquor
  • ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 red apples (I used Gala apples)
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Peel, slice, and core your apples. (I cut the apples in wedges.)
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon of the Brandy with the cornstarch, and set aside.
  • Next, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
  • After the butter melts, add the brown sugar to the melted butter.
  • Cook this butter/sugar mixture for a few seconds until the sugar completely dissolves (make sure to stir the mixture while the sugar melts).
  • Then, mix in the brandy/cornstarch mixture, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon into the sugar mixture.
  • Next add your sliced apples to the saucepan, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until desired tenderness.
  • Once apples have cooked remove the apples from heat. Add the last two tablespoons of Brandy to the apples and stir. Let the apples sit for about 2 minutes and serve.

Notes

  • You can control the amount of brandy to make it more brandied or less.
  • This is a great adult garnish for waffles, ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal, etc.
  • You can also serve the apples with the rest of the brandy you have left... hehe
