Fried Apples Recipe | Copycat Cracker Barrel Recipe

December 1, 2013 by Mindi Cherry

fried apples recipe

I just love the fried apples at Cracker Barrel, but not only do I not really have a Cracker Barrel near me, the entire place is just a huge “danger zone” for me. Between the gift store and all the delicious foods, I could spend a small fortune in money and calories there!

But I do like to have some indulgences once in a while and I wanted a fried apples recipe that would come pretty close to the Cracker Barrel recipe and I think this is it!

This fried apples recipe makes a great side dish for almost any pork recipe (there is just something about pork & apples that just works!) or you can use this recipe in place of canned apple pie filling in my caramel apple cheesecake recipe or would make a great topping for French Toast

You will need:

  • 8 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 3 tbsp freshly juiced lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Toss apples with lemon juice to coat. This will help prevent browning.
  2. Melt butter in a heavy skillet. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Stir and cook until bubbling.
  4. Reduce heat, cover and cook until apples are tender.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

    these look great! I have to try to make these soon, must be a perfect snack. How do you think adding less sugar would affect it?

      Hi Trine!

      Well, it would certainly make them less sweet! But it would also give you less of a glaze because the brown sugar and butter are what makes it. If you reduce the sugar, I would also reduce some of the butter!

Welcome!
