Fried Apple Slices
A quick and delicious recipe for crispy fried apple slices that can be enjoyed as a breakfast, side dish, or dessert.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3-4 medium Medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala) Firm varieties are best to maintain texture.
- 2-3 tablespoons Butter or coconut oil Use butter for best flavor, coconut oil for a healthier option.
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (or brown sugar/maple syrup) Adjust sweetness according to taste.
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Add more to taste if you're a cinnamon lover.
- 1 pinch Salt Enhances the flavors.
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds a lovely flavor.
- 1 squeeze Lemon juice Prevents apples from browning.
- 1 tiny sprinkle Nutmeg (optional) For additional spice.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash, core, and slice the apples about 1/4 inch thick. You can leave the peels on for texture.
- Toss apple slices with a little lemon juice if not cooking immediately.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil and melt completely.
- Once the butter is bubbling, sprinkle in half the sugar and cinnamon, letting it dissolve for 30 seconds.
- Add apple slices in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until bottoms are caramelized.
- Flip each slice, sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender.
Notes
Serve with yogurt for breakfast, alongside pork as a side, or with ice cream for dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
