Author Notes: This is the first Christmas since my father died. I feel so sad. Yesterday my daughter and I started the croissants my mom used to make on Christmas. This morning I saw apples and decided to make my father’s famous fried apples. No matter how many he made, it wasn’t enough. —luvcookbooks

Ingredients
-
1
tablespoon Butter
-
1
tablespoon Fresh young ginger, minced
-
4
Apples, peeled and sliced
-
1
Cinnamon stick or powdered cinnamon to taste
-
1
Star anise(optional)
-
1
Bay leaf(optional)
-
Nutmeg, whole
-
Dark brown sugar
Directions
- Melt butter and warm the ginger. Add apples, bay leaf, star anise and a bit of dark brown sugar. It should taste spicy and herby more than sweet. Sauté gently. My son likes crunchy and I like soft, so I make some thin chunks and some thick ones.
- When done to your liking, pile onto a platter and dust w freshly grated nutmeg. Enjoy!
