Southern Fried Apples

I love these fried apples for breakfast! It's a perfect addition to your weekend breakfast! And they are so simple and easy to make! (Especially if you fry them up in a old fashioned cast iron skillet) The aroma of the sweet butter and cinnamon will fill up your house! It just smells like autumn. Granny Smith apples work best for this recipe, but I used Honey Crisp (because that's what I had on hand) and they were still delicious!

Southern Fried Apples

Ingredients:

2 large granny smith apples

4 tablespoons sweet butter, cubed

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Peel, core and slice apples evenly. Melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and drizzle them with lemon juice. Let apples simmer until most of the butter is absorbed and apples are tender. Stir together sugars and cinnamon and sprinkle over apples. Gently combine so that apples are coated with sugar and cinnamon. Turn heat to low and cook until sugar is completely dissolved and syrupy. Serve hot. 

Note: Cooking time will vary based on what type of apples used and the thickness of the apples.
