It only takes four ingredients to make fried apples, a favorite southern side dish.
Instructions
1
Add the first ingredients to the pan
2
Place a large, heavy-duty skillet on the stove over medium heat and add in the cubed butter. Stir the butter until it's completely melted; slide the sliced apples into the pan along with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Stir everything together until the apples are coated. Editor's Tip: We love using a cast-iron skillet to make this recipe. It does a fantastic job of cooking the apples and sauce evenly, even when set over low heat.
3
Cook the apples
4
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook the apples for 20 minutes, stirring them often, until they're tender.
5
Stir in the remaining ingredients
6
Remove the lid and stir in the rest of the granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Increase the heat to medium. Cook and stir the apples for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and fragrant. Serve the fried apples while warm—they're delicious over any of the best vanilla ice cream brands.
