My favorite apples to use are Fuji; they cook up nicely but retain their firmness. And they have a sweetness about them when cooked that is...perfect in my opinion.
I add some vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice, and if I have one, I grate a little orange rind and squeeze in a little orange juice. I throw in a few raisins to the mixture. I never measure the spices, but I am liberal with the cinnamon. I add a little water, bring it to a quick boil and then turn down the heat a little. Cook until the apples are cooked, yet a little firm and the water cooks down to almost syrup.
Spoon over cooked puff pastry. (I buy frozen puff pastry). Sprinkle with a little bit of powder sugar over the apples - EAT and ENJOY!!!

Hi Sixpence,
Isn't that a beautiful combination, apples with cinnamon.
Your pie looks delicious ~ we had apple crumble for dessert last night and the smell of it cooking was lovely.
Happy week

Yum! We've been eating & cooking apples like crazy this fall. I have 1/2 bushel of Mutsu's in the fridge right now. Hope you're doing well girlie ;-)
Hi Gail, isn't that the truth, love those fall and winter smells filling the air. :)
Drollgirl, it really taste too good to be so easy.
Carolyn, something about the smell of spices in the house that makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.:) I love baking, but I do not eat a lot of sweet stuff, that makes it hard to bake very much cause there is no one to eat it. This is nice, you can do a couple of apples at a time and it's like having fresh pie everytime.:)
Hey Marsi, it's a great time of year for cooking. I love making applesauce and apple butter, I can't eat the store bought stuff. Apples are such healthy treat. Thanks for the visit, it is nice to see you. *hUgS*
