Fried Apples (Printable Version)
Warm apple slices with cinnamon and buttery caramel flavor.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
5–6 tart apples, cut into 1/2-inch slices after peeling and coring (roughly 2 lb)
02 -
4 tablespoons of butter
→ Seasonings & Sweeteners
03 -
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
04 -
A pinch of salt
05 -
¼ cup of packed brown sugar
→ Prevent Browning
06 -
Juice squeezed from one lemon (bottled juice works too)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Peel, remove the cores, and slice the apples into 1/2-inch pieces. Drizzle juice from a lemon over them and gently mix to help them stay fresh-colored while you work.
02 -
Put a cast-iron skillet or sturdy pan on medium heat. Let the butter melt until it smells amazing and starts to bubble.
03 -
Add the sliced apples into the pan. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and stir it all together so the apples are evenly coated.
04 -
Cover the pan and let the apples cook for about 15 minutes. Stir them once in a while. You’re aiming for soft, golden slices with a caramelized touch.
05 -
Once the apples are perfectly tender, take them off the heat. They’re tasty on their own—but even better when paired with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Great as a sweet treat or alongside breakfast dishes!
02 -
For extra flavor, sprinkle nutmeg or drizzle on honey before serving.
