Better than Cracker Barrel home-style crisp apples cooked in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. They make the perfect side for fried pork chops, honey-baked ham, or scrambled eggs with smoked sausage.

How To Make southern fried apples

Step 1

In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring continuously until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Add apples and cook just until the apple begins to break down and starts to become a little fork tender, stirring several times. This usually takes between 7-10 minutes.
Step 3

Serve immediately.
