The Home Alternative

It’s apple season! Apples, apples everywhere. I live in a somewhat rural area where there is definitely no shortage of apples or the orchards where local farmers grow them. You don’t have to drive far to get a box full of apples for a few dollars. I stock up when they are cheap. So now I have a house full apples. There’s no limit to the different ways you can use them. Applesauce, apple pie, apple cake, sliced apples, diced apples, and fried apples! Delicious with cinnamon! No need to worry about eating the apples before they go bad. They freeze wonderfully and are extremely healthy! Here is one of my favorite ways to fix apples.

Skillet Fried Apples

Ingredients:

8 apples sliced in wedges

2 tablespoons of butter

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

3 tablespoons water

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat while preparing apples. After slicing apples into wedges, toss in skillet and stir until tender. Turn heat up to medium high then add brown sugar and water. Toss apples until coated well. Remove pan from heat. Stir in cinnamon.

This recipe is a southern favorite and absolutely delicious. It makes a great side dish, healthy snack, or can be used as topping on vanilla icecream

We all need to make and effort to eat more fruits and veggies. This is a great start. And always remember…  “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”
