Simple and delicious fried apples make a comforting side dish perfect for autumn suppers including pork chops, cabbage rolls and roast beef.
Easy Fried Apples
Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day is for easy fried apples, which is something I like to make every year as early autumn takes hold and apples are being harvested heavily at the orchards.
A Family Favorite Full of Memories
I made these for my brother a few years back, when I visited back home when Mom passed away. He has since passed away as well. He really enjoyed these and I am glad I had a chance to cook these for him. It is the type of cooking I think he liked most, being a meat and potatoes country cooking kind of guy. And it’s the way I have always made them, quick, simple, and easy. Even though he liked this kind of food, I don’t think he had ever had them before.
These skillet fried apples make a great side for breakfast and tastes like apple pie without the crust.
What Kind of Apples Should I Use?
The kind of apples you use does make a difference. There are sweet apples, there are tart apples. There are apples which hold their shape under cooking, and those which just turn into sauce. Refer to an apple chart for apples available in your area if you need to be sure. You can easily up the amounts to cook in the same skillet if you need extra.
