Fried Apples	by: Jenny Kanode
Fried Apples are best served over vanilla ice cream
Servings:	Ingredients:
8	3 lb. of tart apples (Jonathans or Granny Smiths are best.) 1/4 pound of butter (one stick) 1 cup brown sugar (white will also work) 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) vanilla ice cream
Directions:
Peel and slice apples. As you peel and slice each apple, cover in water with a little lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
After the apples are sliced, drain and slowly mix in the sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste while adding the sugar and spices and adjust to your taste.
Melt a stick of butter in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add the apples. Stir enough so that they cook evenly, but not so much as to break them. Some juice should form in the skillet as they cook. If they seem dry or you think they might burn, add a little water. However, that is usually not necessary. Cover the pan towards the end.
They are done as soon as the apple slices are tender and can be pierced with a fork and don't taste crunchy. Don't cook them too long or you will have apple sauce.
Spoon over vanilla ice cream
You can also mix in some raisons, pecans, or sprinkle some granola cereal on top at the end of the cooking period.
