Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- 2-3 large apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel and slice the apples into thin wedges, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture. This will help create a nice coating for the apples.
- Add the sliced apples to the bowl with the butter and flour mixture. Toss the apples gently until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated apples to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.
- Cook the apples for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to become tender and start to caramelize, but not mushy.
- After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the apples to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fragrant.
- Once the apples are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from heat. You can serve the fried apples warm, either on their own or as a delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
- Enjoy your homemade fried apples, a delightful American treat that can be enjoyed at any time of the day!
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: Opt for firm, slightly tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape during cooking.
- Uniform Slicing: Cut apples into consistent thickness to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to allow apples to caramelize without burning. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Don't Rush: Let the apples develop a beautiful golden color and soft texture by cooking them patiently.
- Customize Your Spices: Feel free to experiment with additional spices like a pinch of ground ginger or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: These fried apples are incredibly versatile - serve over pancakes, with vanilla ice cream, or as a side dish for both sweet and savory meals.
