Fried Apple Recipe
The cinnamon and nutmeg make these fried apples taste just like apple pie filling! We love serving ours warm with a scoop of ice cream on top, but a drizzle of caramel sauce wouldn't go amiss either.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds apples (4 large apples; I prefer Honeycrisp, but Granny Smith will work)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter sliced (57 grams; ½ stick)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (50 grams)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice all of the apples into ½” thick slices. Set aside.2 ½ pounds apples
- Add the sliced butter to a large 10” skillet and place the skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and stir until fully combined.¼ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Add the sliced apples and stir until fully coated.
- Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, until the apple slices are fully coated in the buttery sugar mixture and softened slightly (I usually cook mine for 8 to 10 minutes). Make sure not to over cook the apples, they should still be a little crisp.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the apples to a heat-safe bowl. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
