Cinnamon Apple dessert

This apple and cinnamon dessert is the best and quickest way to throw together a yummy dessert, which I shared with my beau and his roommate on my last day in North Dakota. Simple and delicious! What was the last thing you ate for dessert?

What you need:
4 gala apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3 tsp cinnamon
vanilla ice cream

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples, sugar and cinnamon and stir to blend. Cover and let cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring once or twice (until the liquid is mostly absorbed). The sugar should start to caramelize on the apple slices. Remove from heat, dish some into a bowl, and top with vanilla ice cream. Mmmmmm, mmmmm!!   

For an added bonus, add walnuts or golden raisins.
