1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tart apples
Vanilla ice cream for accompaniment
Melt the butter in a nonstick pan and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add vanilla, blending well.
Wash, peel and core the apples and cut into quarters. Add apples to the sugar mixture and simmer uncovered over medium heat for about 15 minutes, basting often. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.
