Poached Apples

The perfect winter treat. These are simple to prepare, and delicious for breakfast or dessert.

Apple juice, 1 small can, 5.5 ounces (about ¾ cup)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 – 3 apples, cored and sliced, about ¼ inch thick

Combine the apple juice, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium size saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the apples. Stir gently, so the apples all have a turn in the hot liquid. When the apples appear to have heated through, (they should not be cooked enough that they lose their shape) remove them from the heat and scoop the apples out of the juice. Return the pan and the juice to the stove and reheat to boiling. Continue to boil until the juice is reduced (fairly thick). Pour the reduction over the apples.                                                                                                                                                                      Serve the apples warm, with yogurt, crème fraiche, or sweetened sour cream. These can be made ahead of time and reheated.

Serves 6 to 8                                                                                                                                                             

Prep time: about 15 minutes

I have had a passion for cooking and eating healthy food for most of my life. My professional training includes a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Culinary Arts from Bastyr University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Home Economics and Secondary Education from Western Washington University. As a lifelong teacher of all ages, my focus is teaching people how to cook simple meals for their families. My belief is anyone, even children, can learn to prepare healthy, inexpensive, delicious meals for themselves and those they care for. I absolutely love to help unravel the mystery of bread making, combine whatever produce is on hand to prepare a delicious soup or stew, or create something new with whomever is interested in participating. As a former preschool teacher, I still enjoy playing in the kitchen with children. I am also an ovarian cancer survivor, and a team leader and fund raiser for a local organization funding ovarian cancer research. My home is in Lake Forest Park, Wa. where I live with my husband, Mark, and our cat, Gilbert. When not teaching, I like to garden, hike, kayak, and cook for friends and family.
