These fried apples are a classic treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Theyre perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, for toppings, and as a side dish.[feast_advanced_jump_to]
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing fried apples.
If you have an abundance of apples, you can freeze them to use later. To freeze apple slices: * Peel, core, and slice the apples to your preferred size. * Squeeze lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning. * Place the slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer. * Once frozen, transfer the apple slices to a freezer bag.
I use a 10-inch skillet. For more information on the cooking and baking dishes I use in our “recipes for one”, please visit our FAQ page. For examples of the dishes used at One Dish Kitchen, please visit our Store page.
