Apples For Dinner

Apples For Dinner?

Why not.  If you anticipate throwing away uneaten apples, make them into a family dinner side dish before they go bad.

When I see a few apples that are past their prime, I’ll make this simple recipe to serve alongside a casserole or hearty entree, like Chicken-Fried Steak.
