Fried Apples

 

By Alice Masci

 

Having transplanted from a Northern Yankee to a Southern Gal I had to try frying something I don't normally fry. I was surprised how good they came out. The kids liked them, so I had to share with all of you too! The measurements might be a little off. I just go by sight when I make something up! So I did my best guessing!

1/2 cup brown sugar 

1 tsp. cinnamon 

3 cups of cut up, peeled apple slices (about 4-5 apples) 

Water 

Vegetable oil (enough to deep fry apples in pan or fryer) 

Optional: Caramel dip or sauce (you can find near apples at Wal-Mart or near ice cream section of stores) 

Use a deep fat fryer or a deep frying pan with oil in it to fry these. Get it hot! Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Peel apples and cut into thick slices. Put slices in a bowl of water. Next, like an assembly line move the wet slices to the flour mixture. Cover apples with batter well then fry in hot oil. Apples are done when golden brown. 

When they are finished place on plate covered with paper towels. Let cool, then garnish with cinnamon-sugar or dip into caramel sauce.
