Perfect but like the other reviews said I only put 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and everything else was correct I cooked it just a little longer and it’s perfect ❤️ also I hen you cut the apples cut the bigger pieces into smaller penny like slices and it’s even better
Great base for personalizing fried apples! Tweaks: 3Tb white sugar; 3Tb brown sugar; generous squirt of agave, apple pie spice, a turn of pink salt & 1/3 c calvados. 5 c of chopped heirloom apples (Paradise) which were mild & sweet. Cooked until all liquid absorbed. Heavenly!!
These are very sweet and buttery. It made lots of syrup. I cut the cinnamon down to 2 teaspoons. Also, I cooked them a bit longer because I like them soft.
Too much cinnamon. I recommend dissolving sugar before adding cinnamon to get a better consistency.
Nothing not to like here. This is pure Southern comfort food, super sweet, decadent, and delicious. The sugar-butter combo cooks into a nice syrup which coats the apples nicely and does thicken pretty quickly once off the heat. I scaled this down to 2 servings (2 Granny Smith apples) which then called for 1 tablespoon cinnamon. I knew that would be too much for our tastes, so I reduced the amount to 1 teaspoon cinnamon which didn’t overpower the apple flavor. A dietary splurge for me, but what a treat with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top.
It was so delicious!!! I cooked the apples a few minutes longer to get them super soft and everyone loved it 🙂 definitely keeping this recipe
I made these apples tonight to go with a vegetable and cornbread meal. When I made them, I cut the cinnamon in half. I love cinnamon, but even half was too much for me. They still tasted good, and this recipe is super easy to make. So it’s a win in my book.
Not bad. I make mine different I used to watch my grandmother make hers so I can only guess at amounts 4 granny smith apples barely ripe she always said About 2/3 cup brown sugar Pinch carraway seeds Couple pinches nutmeg 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon 1 stick butter So butter in pan till melted then add sugar. Add apples. She always said to add.spices after you add the apples so thats how i do it. Cook for about twelve minutes Take off heat add 3 tablespoons half and half then she would add vanilla extract. Stir then she would aerve on home made Belgian wafftes. Man I miss my grandma. Oh and go easy on the carraway seeds a little goes a long way. If you can grind them I found its the way I like them best. I will say if you want simple which is why I made these apples. I didnt have the half and half.. They turned out great. I liked the heavy cinnamon.
I varied the recipe slightly 1/2 c+ 1 T butter 1/2 c white sugar 1/2 c brown sugar 1 T Cinnamon 1/2 T Nutmeg I used a little extra butter because one of my apples was quite a bit larger than the rest. By NO stretch of the imagination am I a cook, so if I can do it, literally anyone can! It turned out fantastic. I’ll definitely make this again!
My family loves these. I make 2 versions as my son is diabetic. For his I use Stevia and for the rest of the family I make the regular recipe
Great pair with pork tenderloin. So yummy.
Im a mediocre cook and this was extremely simple amd turned out delicious and that was with not a thing changed THANK YOU
I think they mean teaspoons not tablespoons of cinnamon. The way it is written makes it overpowering.
So I changed it a bit. 1/2 cup of unsalted butter 1/2 white sugar 1/2 brown sugar 1 1/2 tb. Cinnamon 1/2 tb. Nutmeg 4 Granny Smith apples It’s amazing
This is absolutely amazing!! i did however make another batch with brown sugar and it was SO GOOD! im 100% making this again
Follow recipe not changes pretty good going to make pancakes tomorrow and use up the rest of it
Just added a little more cinnamon
I love it
I used a little less on cinnamon, add a tad of nutmeg and allspice
Super EASY SN TASTY
