15 minGolden Delicious apples sizzle in butter and sugar until tender, then get a splash of amaretto that reduces to a glossy glaze coating every piece.
Plump raisins add chewy sweetness, toasted almonds bring crunch, and a dollop of whipped cream turns this into an instant elegant dessert.
It’s faster than making pie but tastes just as indulgent, perfect for a weeknight treat or last-minute company.
Kitchen Tips
- Apple choice: Golden Delicious apples hold their shape when cooked and have natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with amaretto.
- High heat saute: Keep the heat at medium-high so the apples caramelize and brown slightly instead of steaming and turning mushy.
- Serve immediately: These are best eaten warm right after cooking; the apples soften and lose their texture if they sit too long.
Ingredients
Directions
Peel apples, core, cut into ½-inch dice and set aside. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples, sprinkle with sugar and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes.
Stir in raisins. Add liqueur and cook until liquid reduces to glaze, about 1 minute.
Divide between 2 dessert dishes. Garnish with almonds and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
