Meatless Monday: Firecracker Corn, Southern Cafe Stewed Apples

Ken Hom's Firecracker Corn, only I added green pepper
Almost forgot it was "Meatless Monday"! So, I went with deviled eggs, canned pork-n-beans, Firecracker Corn and Southern Café Stewed Apples. This is my favorite cooked apple recipe. It's best with Granny Smith's, but these are galas.
   I accidentally bought some non-organic apples, and since apples top the list of foods--the Dirty Dozen--with the highest pesticide residue, I decided to peel and cook these instead of eating them raw as we usually would. Usually when I cook apples, I'll leave the peel on, but that was out this time.
   Anyway, the corn and beans from lunch found their way into my soup, which turned out might fine! Hubby ate leftover spaghetti with Italian sausage tonight. Clearly, I am going to have to work harder on preparing something much more spectacular for our meatless main meal, so Hubby will be less likely to resort to eating meat for his dinner.
   Ah, well, there's always next time!!

Leftover veggies from lunch made their way into my supper! (Btw, this is not my soup bowl...Love my tiny Crockpot!
   For curiosity's sake, care to tell me what you'd have done with leftover corn and baked beans?

My stewed apples and all I have ever eaten are much darker than yours. Can you imagine why?

@Practical, that's an angel food cake. maybe these apples don't have as much cinnamon in them as those you're used to?
@Sonya and Cathy, thanks...you won't say the same when you see today's main meal! ;)

I've never stewed apples like that, but it sounds delicious! And that angel food cake looks divine. I've never made one and I want to!!
