Fried Apples


Most weekends Paul takes Leah out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel Restaurant. It's their "Daddy Date Day". The order the same thing every time. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and fried apples. Oh and a chocolate milk for Leah! Well I love the apples too and needed an easy recipe to use up all of the apples we picked at the apple orchard last fall!

2 cups apple juice plus 1/2 cup apple juice
4 large golden delicious apples, with peel, cut into 1/2 inch wedges.
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tsp apple pie spice
4 Tbs sugar

In a medium skillet, combine the 2 cups apple juice and sliced apples. Simmer gently until apples are fork tender but not mushy, turning apples frequently. Remove apples from juice using a slotted spoon and place in an oven safe dish. In a blender, combine the remaining 1/2 cup apple juice, cornstarch, apple pie spice and sugar. Blend a few seconds until smooth. Whisk mixture into hot apple juice in skillet and cook, stirring constantly on medium high heat until it bubbles and becomes thickened and smooth. Pour thickened mixture over apples and serve.

Feel free to use other types of apples or different spices. I don't have apple pie spice so I have substituted plain cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy the "nummy apples" as Leah calls them!
