Melt butter in a nonstick fry pan. Pour in apples and fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Mix cornstarch and water. Add cornstarch mixture, pie spice, and sugar. Stir well. Cover with lid and turn heat low. Simmer, stirring periodically for 15-20 minutes. This can be poured in a pie crust and baked as a pie. It can also be served as a side dish, over ice cream or over pancakes or waffles. It is also good served over grilled pork chops or ham slices.

In North Carolina, spring brings the scent of fresh-cut grass and memories of helping Dad mow the lawn.
Nostalgic burger joints are like time machines, delivering something extra special that keeps us coming back.
This tiny city block in downtown Greensboro once had a gigantic reputation. Not so much for its charbroiled beef patties — though they, too, were plentiful — but for its colorful characters and their wild shenanigans.
In the 1950s, as Americans hit freshly paved roads in shiny new cars during the postwar boom, a new kind of restaurant took shape: the drive-in. From those first thin patties to the elaborate gourmet hamburgers of today, North Carolina has spent the past 80 years making burger history.
