Ingredients:
3 apples (I used 2 red, 1 green)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 t ground cloves
2 cinnamon sticks

Method:

1. Slice apples to about 1/2-inch thick wedges
2. Combine apples with other ingredients in a large bowl
3. Heat a medium-size saute pan over medium heat
   
4. Once the pan is hot, add apple mixture to the pan
5. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until the apples have softened somewhat and the sugar has melted
6. Remove from heat and serve with ice cream on top and whipped cream, for a special treat. (This would also taste really good with melted cheddar cheese, if you're into that sort of thing)
