Fried Apples (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 4 tablespoons butter.
02 - 5–6 tart apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges (about 2 lb).

04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
05 - Pinch of salt.
06 - Juice of 1 lemon (or bottled lemon juice).

Instructions:

03 - Add the apple slices to the skillet. Sprinkle with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
04 - Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
05 - Once the apples are tender and caramelized, remove from heat. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.

Notes:

01 - These fried apples are perfect as a side dish for breakfast or as a dessert, paired with ice cream or whipped cream.
