Anybody that knows me can tell you I am absolutely NOT a morning person. This of course means that I rarely make breakfast. We do a lot of yogurt, instant oatmeal, etc. You know, things that don't require brain power or energy. I always have great intentions of getting up and making a nice breakfast, but intentions at night are not the same as reality in the morning! Of course, I love breakfast foods so we just have breakfast for dinner instead. Cuz why not, right? These sauteed apples are a great side to go along with breakfast foods and are a nice way to change things up. They'd also go well as a side for pork chops or chicken. They are soft but slightly crisp, and sweet with a little bit of citrus-y zing. And of course my two year old had four servings--he could not get enough.
