Slice and core 4 medium Fuji apples.
I like to leave the peel on for added color and vitamins.
In a medium skillet, combine 1 1/3 cups apple cider and the sliced apples. Cook on medium-low heat until the apples are fork tender but not mushy, stirring frequently, about 15-18 minutes. Remove apples from juice and place in a glass bowl or serving dish.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cups apple cider, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice. Whisk together until smooth.
Stir this mixture into the hot juice and cook in skillet on medium-high heat, stirring constantly to a rolling boil until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
Add 3 tablespoons butter and stir in until melted. Pour sauce over apples and serve warm. If desired, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg over the apples before serving. Serves 4-6.
