Transparent Apple Slices*
4 tart apples, thickly sliced
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp water
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar
cinnamon
Pare, core, and cut 4 tart apples in thick slices. Melt butter; add apples slices and water. Cover and allow to steam gently over a low heat until apple slices are almost tender -- about 4-5 minutes. Remove cover and add sugar; sprinkle generously with cinnamon, to taste, and cook, stirring gently, until apple slices are transparent and glazed with thick syrup. Cool and serve.
