Fried Apples-just a few simple ingredients, butter, brown sugar cinnamon and apples fried up southern style!
I don’t know if this is a Southern thing or not but I’ve always associated Fried Apples with Southern. Growing up I loved getting to spend the night at my grandparents. They had a small farm, always a few cows, a horse, dogs and cats. My Grandpa worked for DuPont, the farm was just his hobby. So my Grandpa was an early riser. I loved getting up with him to feed the animals, then he’d come in and fix breakfast. If you were up early enough and helped with the chores, he’d cook for you too. The one thing I remember from these breakfasts were my Grandpa’s Fried Apples. It didn’t matter what else he made, if there were apples in the house, then there’d be Fried Apples on the plate.
Usually, he’d make this with Granny Smith apples, but really, you can make this with any apple. I do like the tart apples the best. And you can do so much with fried apples. The perfect side with breakfast. Try them as a topping on Buttermilk Pancakes

Love this – I haven’t had fried apples in forever! I hope you’ll share them at this week’s It’s Fall Y’all ~ Linky Party. Hope to see you there!

Don’t know if fried apples are particularly southern. I grew up eating them and live in the northwest. They are so yummy and make a wonderful side dish to serve with pork instead of applesauce. Every cook should know about these so I am including a link to your post on my Friday Finds this week. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up eating fried apples mostly at breakfast time and with the fondest memories being when camping. Mom would fry bacon and then add the sliced apples to the hot grease, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and cook until the apples were tender.. the smell of apples cooking in the iron skillet always got us out of the sleeping bags! I cooked them for my kids, 4-H and Scouts too and they always asked for them when we went camping.. Such wonderful memories..
Joan Hayes says
That sounds heavenly Sandy, thanks for sharing! 🙂
