FRIED CINNAMON APPLES

I like to use a cast iron skillet to make fried apples on the stove. It retains heat well which means the apples cook evenly. A regular black cast iron skillet will sear the apples more, resulting in darker brown edges that have a wonderful rich, buttery taste. Enamled cast iron pans heat more evenly and will not leave brown edges. I like both- the pan I use just depends on how large a batch I’m doing. See below for the full recipe and instructions on how to cook the apples.

• splash of lemon juice
• 2 TBSP brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• dash of nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Peel and slice apples. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook for 10 minutes. Sprinkle on the brown sugar and spices.
2. Dissolve cornstarch in water and pour over the spiced apples, stirring to combine. Cook another 4-5 minutes, until syrup has thickened and apples are crisp tender.
