Fried Apples~ aka "Cracker Barrel" style

 If you are a fan of the

restaurant Cracker Barrel, you are

going to love this recipe!

The simplicity of this recipe

will have you making it often.

 

Lark's Fried Apples

4 TBSP. Bacon Grease

1/2 C. Brown Sugar~ packed

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

2 TBSP Cornstarch

1 C. Water

4 Lg. Granny Smith Apples

 

In a large cast iron skillet heat

the bacon grease. (I don't keep bacon

grease on hand, so this gave me the excuse

to fry up a pound!)

This picture looks like there is a ton

of bacon grease in it, however

there is only the 4 TBSP.

In a small bowl whisk together

the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg

and cornstarch. Peel and slice the

apples. I like the apples on the

"thin" side, however you can slice

then as thick as you would like.

Add the sugar mixture to the heated

bacon grease, whisk to blend.

Slowly pour in the water while

whisking. Continue to whisk until

it begins to thicken and boil.

Let it boil for 3 minutes.

Now add in your apple slices.

Turn down your heat, stir until

the apples become fork tender.

Now they are ready to serve up.

You can eat these warm or chilled

which ever way you desire.

These will last  for up to 3 weeks

 in the fridge. I kept a jar of

these fried apples to make a

"Fried Apple Crisp" for dessert

later on in the week.

ENJOY,

Lark
