Wake up your apple desserts with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. [View all]

When I make stewed apples or the trouble of a pie I'll throw in a healthy pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Gives it a nice little tingle at the finish of the bite. Works well with the cinnamon.
Stewed Apples:
2-4 apples cored, peeled and cut up in to small chunks
Tbls± brown sugar
Some fresh lemon juice
A dab of water
pat of butter
1/2 ± tsp of cinnamon
Healthy pinch± of crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
Cook low and slow till apples are tender. Adjust ingredients to taste.
Try it on buttered toast.
Goes well with yogurt.
Enjoy
