Stewed apples are used not only as a side dish, but also are commonly served with ice cream or as a filling for apple pie. They are also wonderful in the mornings with oatmeal.
3 to 4 large Granny Smith apples
1½ cups water
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Wash, core, peel, and slice the apples. In a medium-size saucepan over low heat combine the apples, water, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Simmer until the apples are tender, but not too soft.
