Sauteed Apples

I tend to make this with the ricotta pancakes.

Ingredients:

• 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 Tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• fresh lemon juice to taste

Makes about twelve 3 to 4-inch pancakes.  Serves 4.

Directions:

1. In a large heavy skillet saute the apples in butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until softened.
2. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
3. Stir in lemon juice and keep warm.
