Flambeed apples

This is our goto dessert in the fall. A no-brainer to make, very fast, and quite healthy as far as desserts go. And one gets to flambé, which is always fun.

Ingredients:

• 1 TBS unsalted butter
• 4 apples - use organic, the peel adds to the trxture
• ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup Grand mariner, measured into a small bowl
• juice of one lemon

Method:

• Core apples, chop them into 1/4 inch pieces
• Melt butter in a large pan, until it bubbles
• Add apples, sprinkle them with cinnamon.
• Sauté apples until they soften a bit. About 5 minutes.
• Take the pan off the heat, add Grand Mariner, place the pan back to heat, and either light the alcohol with a lighter or tilt the pan if you have a gas stove. Keep your head back to avoid the flames.
• If you prefer there is no need to light the alcohol, it will evaporate. The fire is literally just for show and fun, if that is your thing.
• When the alcohol evaporates or flames out, take the pan off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• Serve right away.
• You can, if you wish, add ice cream or whipped cream, or chocolate topping. We don't.
