CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Combine the candies, brown sugar and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the candies and sugar have fully melted, about 10 minutes.
• Add the apples and bring to a boil. Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and transfer to a heatproof dish. Allow the syrup to boil for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and intensify. Pour the syrup over the apples and allow to cool. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, warm a griddle over medium heat. Butter the griddle and toast the slices of pound cake for about 2 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed.
• To plate, place a piece of pound cake on each plate. Top with a scoop of ice cream and 4 apple slices. Drizzle with additional syrup and garnish with the mint.

STOVETOP CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan or deep skillet bring your water and sugar to a simmer while you prepare the apples.
• Peel your apples. I cut the apples into four quarters and then remove the core. Then I cut each quarter into three or four slices.
• Once the water is simmering, carefully add a single layer of apples to the water and sugar. You don't have to do too much to them after they are in the water.
• Check at the 10 minute mark. You can turn the apple slices over if they aren't done yet.
• After 15 or 20 minutes, the apple slices will look translucent and be cooked all the way through.
• Lift them out of the sauce with a slotted spoon and put them in your serving dish.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Add another layer of apples to the water and sugar mixture and cook as before.
• When these are done, lift them out with a slotted spoon and add to the apples in the serving dish.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on the top.
• Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy later.
