Ivy House Buttery Skillet Apples (6 servings) 4 medium cooking apples 1/3 cup real butter 1/2 cup sugar 2 Tablespoons cornstarch 1 and 1/2 cups water Peel, core and slice apples. Make a sauce by melting the butter in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat; stir in sugar and cornstarch. Mix well and add the remaining ingredients. Add apples to the sauce cover and cook over medium heat until tender. Occasionally spoon the sauce over the apples as they cook. These skillet-cooked apples are great one their own (especially with whipped cream), but they also make a nice topping for pancakes and waffles.
