Southern Comfort Food: Fried Apples

[Legion Para]

Use fried apples as a side dish for breakfast or dinner, throw them on top of biscuits, cornbread or ice cream.

2 large Granny Smith apples
4 tablespoons real butter chopped
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

--Peel, core and cut apples into even slices.
--Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat.
--Add apples and drizzle them with the lemon juice.
--Let apples simmer until most of butter is absorbed and apples are tender. Do not overcook. Apples should be firm to the touch, yet tender with a little give to the bite.
--Stir together sugars and sprinkle them over apples.
--Toss to combine.Lower heat if needed.Let apples cook until sugars are completely dissolved and syrupy.
--Remove from heat and sprinkle apples with cinnamon.
--Toss to distribute cinnamon.
--Plate apples and serve piping hot.

Sounds like a quick alternative to apple pie, but in a much smaller size!

As a kid I loved my grandmother's fried apples. years later I found out she would add in canned apple pie filling as well. still delicious.
