A perfect side dish to round out the menu
Often when I am looking for something to round out a meal, I turn to this recipe. The sweet and tender apples work well with many different entrees including, pork tenderloin, chicken, meats, pasta and casseroles. You know, when you want just something else and you already have a meat, vegetable and starch on the menu. These sauteed apples are a great addition.
Easy and delicious
I used Macintosh in the photos shown in this post. They will be softer than if you use something like a Granny Smith. I like using both varieties but you might have a different variety that your prefer.

Sauteed Apples Recipe
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 large tart apples – peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt (optional) I like to sprinkle a pinch of salt on the apples. It really makes a difference in bringing out flavor!
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Dissolve cornstarch in water; add the mixture to the skillet. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins, if using. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and serve warm.

I love this. I think it would be great with pork and red cabbage, but then I sounds good as is, or with ice cream. Well, this just sounds good.
So happy to have you at Seasonal Sundays.

Those apples look delicious!
Have a wonderful week…
I love sautéed apples! Funny, but it's been so warm here (as usual) that it's really hard to even think that it's autumn. I just keep filling the bird feeders and cutting flowers as if it were July. Thanks for the reminder that it is apple season.
Yum. Perfect for this cooler weather, too!
Looks delicious! We are coming into apple season here and LOVE to try some new recipes! Thanks!
The first photo is just perfect dear Lorraine. It's beautiful! It's almost like a vintage painting:).
These look wonderful!
Oh yes please, with some roast pork and 'yorkshire puddings' (do you eat them in the US?)
These look amazing and so easy. I'd love to have you share this link at Seasonal Sundays this week.

With cold, leftover pork roast or poured over vanilla ice cream, or in a puddle of warm vanilla custard – looks delicious!
Beautiful! I'm waiting to get some apples…thinking about canning pie filling, applesauce, and now this recipe?…I could get a lot of use out of it.
I grew up eating these! My mom called them "fried apples" and she left the peel on them. Now I want togo make me some…thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for the recipe.
You have no idea how much my family loves Sautéed Apples !!
And no wonder, it's delicious 🙂
Who needs pie crust?! They look amazing! xo
We love apples and yours would be great to have right about now :o)
One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my "apple peeler/corer/slicer" :o) When our three were growing up, they would love to help use this to make for apple treats.
Blessings & Aloha!
This post came at the perfect time. we just got back from a trip to the mountains with a peck of apples….sounds like we are having sauteed apples for supper tonight..thanks for the recipe..pretty pictures too..

That sounds like it would be heaven with a pork roast-yum:@)
Yes, its apple season and this recipe will come in handy. Beautiful capture as always. What kind of apple did you use that has the red specs in the flesh?
