Makes 2 servings

2 apples
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup oat and honey granola
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream

1. Wash, peel, core and cut apples into wedges or chunks as desired
2. Coat apple pieces with brown sugar and cinnamon
3. Melt butter in non stick pan over medium heat
4. Add coated apples
5. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until apples are tender but not too soft

Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, MacIntosh or Gala apples would work fine. Granola is available at most grocery stores, or just crush a granola bar of your choice.
