Cinnamon Fried Apples
Description
Cinnamon Fried Apples bring together chopped apples with a cinnamon-sugar butter blend cooked slowly until tender and caramelized. The apples are first peeled, cored, and tossed with lemon juice to prevent browning, then gently cooked over low to medium heat with butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. The result is soft apples coated in a flavorful, sweet, and mildly spiced sauce. This dish can be served warm on its own or alongside breakfast items like pancakes or oatmeal.
The cooking method ensures the apple pieces remain intact but tender, complemented by the buttery sweet coating with cinnamon. The lemon juice adds brightness and preserves the color of the apples through cooking.
Leftovers can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container and reheated gently to preserve the soft texture and glaze. The portion estimates about 4 servings with roughly 1 cup per serving.
Ingredients
- 4 cups apple chopped
- 1 lemon (for juicing on the sliced apples)
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel and core apples. Squeeze lemon on them as you go to prevent browning. Chop into bite-sized pieces. 4 cups chopped apples, 1 lemon
- In a pan with high sides (or a cast iron skillet), melt butter over low heat and add sugar and cinnamon. 2 tablespoons salted butter, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Cook over low-medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until melted.
- Add apples. Continue to stir and cook for about 12-14 minutes, until softened. The exact timing will depend on how big the apple pieces are.

Notes
- Store leftover fried apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Use lemon juice immediately on the sliced apples to prevent browning before cooking.
