2 tsps. sweet butter
3 large (about 1 1/2 lbs.) York or Rome apples, cored and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 tsp. canola oil
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

In a large nonstick skillet heat the butter and oil over medium heat; stir in the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves until blended. Stir in the apples, and cook, stirring constantly to coat the apples evenly with the spice mixture, for 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat, over partially, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until apples are tender. Remover from heat. Let cool slightly and serve warm, or at room temperature. Makes 4 servings.

Microwave Preparation: In a shallow 3-quart microwavable casserole combine the butter, oil, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; microwave on HIGH, uncovered, for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover partially with lid or vented plastic wrap. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH for 6 minutes, or until apples are almost tender. Let stand for 2 minutes. Makes 4 servings. This is an official 5 A Day recipe.
