Escalloped Apples (Stouffers Copy Cat Recipe)

10 cups Granny Smith Apples (or Jonathan works well too)
* 1 medium equals 1 cup.  

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Corn Starch

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/3 cup Brown Sugar

Peel, core and slice apples. I use a bowl with some lemon water to prevent browning. I get about 8 slices that I will then cut in half to make 16 pieces each apple.

In a large bowl toss to combine combine apples, cinnamon and sugar.

Either....

Add butter to pan to melt.  Add remaining ingredients and cook on medium heat until apples are just turned soft (careful not to over cook and make applesauce).  You may have to add a few tablespoons of water or juice at some point.

Or....

Place ingredients in microwave safe bowl.
Dot with butter, cover and microwave on high for 12 minutes (stirring occasionally).
