This chicken chop suey recipe tastes very similar to the one at my favorite Chinese restaurant. There is a lot of chopping, but it's well worth the effort! We like it with noodles or vegetable fried rice.

Apples are sautéed in butter with brown sugar and cinnamon until tender. The warm syrup from the apples is delicious and great on homemade waffles. You may add raisins to the sauce if desired.
