Kathy’s Kentucky Fried Apples

From the author … No, I’m not trying to elbow in on Col. Sanders, I just happen to live in Kentucky and make quite a lot of fried apples. It’s a simple recipe and it can feed quite a few. Great as a dessert, or if you have leftovers, you can top Belgian waffles with it the next morning.

 

Ingredients:

3-4 good-sized Granny Smith apples. If you don’t like really tart stuff, substitute Golden Delicious or Red Delicious. Peel, core, and slice the apples. I cheat, I have a peeler, corer, slicer that does most of the work, then I take an apple slicer and cut them into little chunks.

 

¼ c Bourbon. You can pass if you’re not into the alcohol thing.

Let apples “steep” in bourbon for a few minutes in cold frying pan while you add:

 

2-3 Tbs butter- be generous!

The gadgets that make this recipe a breeze.

3 Tbs Sugar

1 Tbs cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

 

Whipped cream for topping.

Fry apples over medium heat until tender. Serve up in bowls and liberally apply whipped cream. Enjoy! Makes approx 3-4 servings depending on apple size.
