Autumn is here and both the apple and pear harvests are in full swing.   While apple pies and crumbles grace many a table, we settle for an even simpler dish here: autumn fruit sautéed in butter and served with tangy kefir.   This dessert lacks the cloying sweetness of most sweetened varieties as it’s made without sugar or other sweeteners; rather, the natural sugar of the fruit shines through.

Sautéed Apples

Sautéing apples in butter gives them a the lightest touch of caramel flavor and helps to heighten their sweetness. This makes an easy autumn dessert that’s naturally low in sugar, or you can serve it as a side dish with roast pork.
