Pan fried apple slices

Southern Fried Apples are a southern favorite that’s ready in fifteen minutes, a classic comfort food that’s delicious on its own or as part of a pie. Made famous by everyone from Cracker Barrel to Paula Deen, this fried apples recipe is an American favorite that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a filling for apple pie.

These apples are one of those easy recipes that will quickly become a tradition. For some apple pie inspiration, also check out our Apple Slab Pie and our Legendary Apple Crisp Pie.

WHY FRIED APPLES?

Fried apples are a blend of sweet and savory, which makes them perfect as a filling for desserts. As far as apple recipes go, fried apples are very straightforward and good for beginners.

I suggest using white sugar, but you can also use a blend of white and brown sugar, or even white sugar and honey, but keep in mind that honey burns very easily at a relatively low heat.

WHAT PAN SHOULD I USE?

If you have one, always use your cast iron skillet. There’s nothing better to melt butter and cook apples in, and they give you a lot of control over the temperature of the pan. Since no one likes the taste of burnt sugar, more control is always better, but keep in mind that cast iron gets hotter faster. Be sure to clean and season your cast iron thoroughly after each use (never with soap!)

WHAT ARE THE BEST APPLES TO FRY?

I always suggest using Granny Smith Apples, but there are a variety available and each have their own unique flavor.

• Golden Delicious Apples: Cracker Barrel’s recipe suggests using Golden Delicious Apples, but despite their sweet flavor they tend to bruise very easily so handle with care.
• Fuji Apples: this sweeter variety brings something different to the recipe. Fuji apples naturally have a more sugary flavor, and so you should adjust the levels of the sugar to taste.

WHAT ABOUT THE LEFTOVERS?

If you have left-over apples, why not make an apple crostada?

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Use a pre-made pie crust and fill with apple mixture, leaving room around the edges.
• Fold the edges over, brush an egg wash onto the edges and sprinkle on some sanding sugar.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

If you’re looking for a more savory use for your fried apple leftovers, try them on pork.

• Butterfly a pork chop and fill with fried apple mixture.
• Pan fry pork chop in butter or olive oil until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees (according to pork.org) and outside is golden brown (cook time can vary based on the thickness of the pork.)
• Let sit for four minutes and enjoy.

Cutting your Apples

Try to cut your fresh apples right before using them so that the fruit doesn’t turn brown. If you cut them and you can’t get to them right away, toss the apple slices in lemon juice.

The citric acid in the lemon prevents the apple from oxidizing and keeps them fresh longer.

How to Store Southern Fried Apples

You can freeze your fried apples to keep them around longer, but be aware that the freezing process can effect the texture. Store your fried apples in an airtight container in the fridge for no longer than five days.

What to Serve with Fried Apples?

Fried apples are the perfect end to a Southern-style dinner. One their own or in a pie, they are excellent after a dinner of Smothered Pork Chops and a side dish of Southern Fried Okra, or Shrimp and Grits.

Fried apples in a pan — 6 recipes for making apples

Hello dear readers! As far back as I can remember, I have always adored apples in absolutely any form. I not only eat them just like that, but also add them to other dishes. But fried apples are my favorite dish. They turn out to be so soft, delicate and fragrant! And if you add a little cinnamon, honey or a pinch of ginger to them, then you get just a divine dessert. And cook them much faster than bake whole in the oven.

Fruit can be served not only as an independent dessert. For example, I add them to pita roll with cottage cheese or cooking curd casseroles. And they are also ideal for meat — any meat dish will turn into a real delicacy.

For a fabulous taste, pour yogurt over the finished dish — and nothing else is needed! Such a delicacy will be ideal for both children and those who are on a diet 🙂

Apples fried in a pan with sugar and cinnamon — a recipe without everything

My family is delighted with this dish. I like this recipe not only for its taste: it is quite simple to prepare and economical in every sense. To pamper yourself, you don’t even need to wander around the shops in search of groceries: most likely, you already have everything you need at home. And you can make a sweet miracle in a matter of minutes!

You will need:

• 2 large durum apples;
• 20 g butter;
• ¼ h. L. cinnamon;
• 1-2 tsp Sahara.

Preparation:

1. Wash the fruit, peel and cut into wedges.

2. Put the skillet on the fire and melt the butter in it. Place the wedges in the skillet. Cook them over low heat until golden brown.

Make sure that there is a small distance between the slices, otherwise the dish will turn into apple jam.

3. Put the finished slices on a plate, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

I recommend serving them when they are still warm. Can be combined with ice cream or homemade cottage cheese — such a dessert will definitely not leave anyone indifferent!

Fried apples in dough — cooking technology in batter

This recipe is a little more complicated than the previous one and will take longer to prepare, but it’s worth it! The dough is light and tender, and the fruit tastes like oven baked.

RELATED ARTICLES:

Prepare for the recipe:

• 2-3 apples;
• 2 eggs;
• 80-100 g of sugar;
• 1 / 2 a glass of flour;
• 50-60 g of milk;
• 1 tsp cinnamon;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• sunflower oil;
• icing sugar;
• salt to taste.

How to cook:

1. Peel the apples and cut into rings approximately 2 cm wide, taking out the core. Cut the fruit in half to make it easier to remove the core. Then you can easily cut the seed pods.

2. Put the prepared fruits in a plate, cover with sugar and cinnamon, stir and leave to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

3. Prepare the batter. Take the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks lightly, add flour, baking powder, sugar, a pinch of salt and stir.

4. Gradually pour milk into the resulting mixture, stirring constantly. The dough should be slightly thinner than for the pancakes.

5. Beat the whites until stiff and gently stir into the dough.

6. Prepare a deep fryer or place a dish with a lot of oil on the fire. Dip apple rings in batter and fry.

Place the fried rings on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil. Then transfer them to a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
