Apples in Caramel!

Okay, so.. it's not really caramel. Well, sort of. But it's amazing!!

Two apples, cored and chopped
2 Tb. honey of your choice*
4 Tb. Earth Balance, halved
1/4 C. apple cider (or so, a few splashes)
a splash of vanilla extract
a couple shakes of cinnamon
a nice healthy squeeze of lemon

Melt 2Tb Earth Balance in a pan on medium/med. low heat. When it is melted, toss in your apples. as they're frying, add the cinnamon and vanilla. Then, add the cider, and bring back up to a simmer. Add honey, lemon, and the rest of the Earth Balance. Simmer, stirring constantly, making sure to scrape up any spots that might start to stick. Once it gets nice and thick, take off the heat and serve!

*I used creamed honey, because we inherited a giant tub of it. Personally, I prefer blackberry or eucalyptus honey. If you don't eat/like honey, you can use brown sugar or grade B maple syrup for a similar effect, but you might have to adjust the proportions of the other ingredients.


Seriously easy. I'm eating it now just plain, but you could put it over ice cream or something similar. It's delish!
