You must try these steamy, seductive, saucy apples! They are the side dish that spices up your breakfast, lunch, dinner, OR dessert plate.
And creating these saucy apples will take so little time, you’ll be able to make them as often as you desire!
In the Beginning
Apples. The original sin. The forbidden fruit.
And whether you are reading the Bible or Snow White, apples conjure up a feeling of guilty pleasure.
Pity the poor apple! Because apples are a source of goodness despite their shameful past.
Apples are high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. And they are low in calories. Plus, you’ve heard the phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”! What’s not to love? (Well, they were on the dirty dozen for being high in pesticides so I always buy and recommend organic apples.)
Of course, apples are healthiest when eaten raw with skin. So this saucy apple recipe may be a little sinful with the skin off and a little fat and sugar added in. But its irresistible taste will keep you coming back for more.
So let’s disrobe our heavily crusted apple pies and get to the good stuff by making this salacious, sexy hot dish. 😉
Saucy Apples – A Tempting Taste Treat
I knew this side dish was a hit in our family when my health-conscious son devoured them without asking about sugar content but instead asked for more. Then the rest of the tribe joined in as well. A new family favorite treat was born!
I started making them for a breakfast addition but quickly graduated to saucy apples alongside lunch and then saucy apples as an accompaniment with dinners of roasted veggies, then vegan sausage and peppers, and then again with boiled dinner, and on and on and on.
And can we talk about dessert? On ice cream, of course. But also on pound cake, and cheesecake, it works like a dream. Such a steamy seductive little side dish to lure all your guests to the table.
