I don't know if this is a Southern thing or not but I've always associated Fried Apples with Southern. Growing up I loved getting to spend the night at my grandparents. They had a small farm, always a few cows, a horse, dogs and cats. My Grandpa worked for DuPont, the farm was just his hobby. So my Grandpa was an early riser. I loved getting up with him to feed the animals, then he'd come in and fix breakfast. If you were up early enough and helped with the chores, he'd cook for you too. The one thing I remember from these breakfasts were my Grandpa's Fried Apples. It didn't matter what else he made, if there were apples in the house, then there'd be Fried Apples on the plate.
Usually, he'd make this with Granny Smith apples, but really, you can make this with any apple. I do like the tart apples the best. And you can do so much with fried apples. The perfect side with breakfast.
Fried Apples on Buttermilk Pancakes
Fried Apples on Ice Cream
1-2 tablespoons butter
3-4 apples, cored and sliced (skin on or off, it's your preference)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Melt butter in a medium frying pan. Add sliced apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Simmer over medium low heat until bubbly. Continue cooking for about 10-20 minutes (depending on how thick you cut your apples) until apples are tender.
Then just serve them up. If you want more syrup with your apples just increase your butter and brown sugar.

Dang girl. This is amazing. You know me and frying.
ReplyDeleteLove this - I haven't had fried apples in forever! I hope you'll share them at this week's It's Fall Y'all ~ Linky Party. Hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if fried apples are particularly southern. I grew up eating them and live in the northwest. They are so yummy and make a wonderful side dish to serve with pork instead of applesauce. Every cook should know about these so I am including a link to your post on my Friday Finds this week. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
