I made this to take to a friends party, and it was so well-received that i thought that i'd post it. its an old recipe that i saved from a magazine many years ago, your family, august 1991. very simple, and fail-proof! i use butter, and brown sugar, personal taste. Granny smith apples are a tart green cooking apple.
