Wash well. Core and slice. Peeling is optional.
Stove-top:
Add apples in pan large enough to stir apples without spilling. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Remove from heat when apples darken and begin to soften. Add a pat of butter, raisins, and cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately. If you desire applesauce, cook longer, until apples are desired consistency.
Grilled:
Slice apples in half only. Coat apple with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Grill over medium heat, 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired before serving. May serve with ice cream or shortbread for a light dessert.
