Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

  • Chop the apples into about 1-inch pieces. Set aside for a moment.
  • Heat a medium-size skillet on low to medium heat.

  • Add the apples, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Stir all ingredients together.
  • Add the water and continue stirring.
  • Cook until the apples start to get soft (but not mushy) and the liquid reduces to a syrup-type consistency (about 6 or 7 minutes).
