slightly salty honeyed apples



You may have noticed, I have a sweet tooth. Really, I have a whole set of sweet teeth. But, I think somewhere in my jaw lurks a highly specialized sweet & salty tooth. And that's what brings us here...

These apples originally started out as a topping for pancakes. But once again, pancakes and I didn't get along. So, this lovely little topping ended up on coconut milk vanilla ice cream. Hey, can't complain! Never met an ice-cream topping I didn't love.

HONEYED APPLES

1 large, tart apple
1 tbs butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Add them into a saucepan with the melted butter, and let those hang out for a few minutes. When the apple has started to brown and soften, add in the honey, salt, and cinnamon. Cook down until well-combined and syrupy, another few minutes. Add over pancakes, oatmeal, ice cream, toast, or just solo!
