Southern Fried Apples with a serving spoon.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

When the weather turns cooler, these Southern fried apples taste like fall. They're sweet, tender, and juicy with a hint of tartness, and filled with warm spices. It's buttery, almost like a caramel sauce. You can eat these fried apples over biscuits or ice cream, but they are equally delicious to eat alone.
