Fried Apple slices are cooked in a cast iron skillet with the flavor of cinnamon. These Fried Cinnamon Apples are cooked with a bit of crunch left in the center like your mom made for breakfast.
My hubby has always talked about his Mom’s fried apple slices that she served over pancakes or waffles in the morning.
I always thought they were stewed apples with a thick syrupy glaze but I should have known my hubby better. They are apples cooked in a cast iron skillet with the flavor of cinnamon, not too sweet and not overcooked, but left with a bit of crunch in the center.
So we made a quick phone call to his mom to find out how she made them. The first thing she said was to use a cast iron skillet for the best flavor. Then peel about 5 medium size apples. The apples also need to be cored and sliced.
Melt Butter in the Cast iron skillet and add apples, sugar, and spices. Stir and cook until apples are done leaving a bit of a crunch in the center.
