30for30: recipe #4: cooked apples.

Uh yeah. So I still have so many fracking apples left. I'm at a loss for what to make with them, so I thought I'd just do something super easy....cooked apples. Plus, (again...my texture eating gross-ness), I really don't eat a lot of oatmeal. But I want to integrate more oats into my diet. If I can add some cooked apples to my oatmeal, I'm pretty sure I'll eat more of it. So here goes nothing:

Cooked Apples

Ingredients:

2 pounds cooking apples (or whatevs you got around your house)

3/4 cups sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 cup water

1/4 cup unsalted butter

Core and quarter apples (do not peel).

 In a large heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, covered over high heat.

As soon as ingredients begin to boil, lower heat to a simmer. Simmer apples, covered for 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let apples stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
