8:30 pm in Wharton is not a good time to start craving a sweet snack, or really any snack at all. The general store is closed which means no ice cream, no candy and no ingredients for s'mores. Being at the cabin for only 2 short nights this weekend, I simply brought the necessities for meals. You can never really plan ahead for a craving. I decided to get thrifty and use my resources. The only real ingredients for a sugary snack in the cabin were butter and cinnamon, so there wasn't much I could do there. Then I remembered that there's a wild apple tree outside! I decided this was the perfect opportunity to write a post and satisfy my craving. It was pretty dark outside, so I grabbed a flashlight and Joey and walked across the lawn to the apple tree. Shaking wet tree branches, I picked a few good ones (from what I can see) and brought them back to get a little creative. I decided to make a warm dish of sweet, cinnamon apples. I've never used wild growing apples in any of my baking before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I melted some butter in the pan (I added much more later - I believe you can never have too much butter). After the butter was melted, I added my diced apples and a few shakes of cinnamon. I covered the apples, stirring occasionally for about 10-15 mins. When they were finally soft, I took them out by the fire where I sat to enjoy my snack (but only for a few minutes - it was freezing)! They were the perfect consistency and had their own natural sweetness.
