The Perfect Fall Side Dish

Even though we have only had a very small taste of actual fall weather around here (like 2 days a couple of weeks ago), I have found myself eager to embrace the season: the decor, the clothes, and most of all, the food.  I'm sure you all would agree that apples just scream fall.  While we are usually a vegetable side dish type of family, we make sure to make an exception for this easy, delicious fall recipe.  We usually pair it with pork, but I'm sure it has plenty of other places (like on ice cream?!?) as well.

my goodness, terrible camera doesn't do these guys justice
