Warm Skillet Cinnamon Apples

HokiesLady's Note:

A quick dessert to serve for family and company that is a healthy alternative to a baked pie or crisp. If you want to make it a bit "less healthy" serve topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. :-)

These were delicious with our pork chops! Will be making them many times in the future...thanks for posting the recipe!

These apples were delish and I served them on their own as I did not have vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. I do think that the apples would shine much more with either the ice cream or a whipped cream to balance the flavour of the nutmeg and cinnamon. I am sure that with this balance it would be a 5 star recipe. Super easy to put together.

Wonderful! Made as-directed and served with grilled pork chops - Grilled Pork Rub. (The BF loves apples and pork!) Thanks so much for sharing!
