1/2 C. apple juice or cider ($.15)

Serve hot, topped with French vanilla ice cream.
Sprinkle with toasted nuts (walnut, almond, hazelnut, or pecans) if desired.

With pears being in season, this recipe is going to look great on my menu for Thanksgiving - between this and the apple pie filling recipe, I'm going to look like I slaved all day in the kitchen.
