I made it with some added blueberries, about 2 Tbls of very finely minced ginger (yes that's a lot) and crushed up sprouted wheat and cornflake cereal (closest I had) instead of grapenuts. KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! By the way, for recipes like this where we're combining white and brown sugar in the same stage, I love just using white (or raw) sugar and adding a Tbls or two (I usually go a little heavy cuz I love it) of molasses. :DUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735954809595393737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-45656028357771586082017-02-26T19:02:49.290-05:002017-02-26T19:02:49.290-05:00Awesome recipe!

My preferred method now is to cook the apples low in the butter to soften them, then add them to a big bowl to combine with the sugars and spices. There's enough residual heat in the apples that will melt the sugars into a sauce to coat without turning into candy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396780116514364445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-46566625161296712562016-01-23T12:50:49.388-05:002016-01-23T12:50:49.388-05:00Chef John,

Do not add water; the apples will give up plenty. When the apples are soft, remove them with a slotted spoon, then continue to reduce and develop the caramel sauce. In addition to cinnamon I also added some grated nutmeg and Chef John's secret weapon: Chinese five spice.

Simple fix...melt the butter, add the sugar until its mixed together, add the apples and cook on medium heat until the liquid reduces and the apples soften. Fantastic. Grape Nuts are PERFECT for this! Chef John, you'da man! PS: my wife loves it when I make this, and it's cheaper than going shopping.
