Sautéed Granny Smith Apple Slices

The best apples for sautéing are Granny Smith, but other crisp tart apples like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady also work really well.

This is a fresh approach to apple sauce with pork, or sprinkled with a little cinnamon and sugar, becomes dessert.

We love Sautéed Granny Smith Apple Slices with Prosciutto di Parma Wrapped Pork Tenderloin.
