Stovetop Cobbler

Stovetop "Cobbler"
3 large tart Apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 tablespoon each of both Butter and Olive Oil
1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
pinch of Salt
3 tablespoons Brandy
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
1 tablespoon Butter
your favorite Nuts, chopped (honey roasted almonds are good)


Melt the butter in a medium frying pan. Add the oil and let get hot. Add the apples, stir and reduce the heat to medium/medium low. Add the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Stir occasionally. The sugars will get syrupy.


In another pan, heat the butter and oil on high. Add the oats and nuts. Reduce the heat to medium and saute until the oats are toasted and aromatic.


Add the brandy to the apples. Ignite with a match and burn off some of the alcohol. Stir in the oats, and reduce heat to low. Stir and let cook for 5 minutes or so. Serve hot!
