Sizzling apples are bathed in a warm, thick, gooey sauce in this super simple recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (freshly grated preferred)
• 1/3 cup 100% apple juice and 2/3 cup 100% apple juice, divided use
• 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
• 2 medium Braeburn, Rome Beauty, or Golden Delicious apples, peeled if desired, thinly sliced, and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons raisins (golden preferred)
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts, dry-roasted

Directions

1. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in 1/3 cup apple juice. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Pour in the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the apples for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring constantly.
3. Stir in the raisins and the remaining 2/3 cup apple juice. Stir in the brown sugar mixture. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until the sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Just before serving, sprinkle with the walnuts.
