This turned out great
First time EVER posting recipe comment
I too omitted nutmeg just bc didn’t think my 93yr old fussy eater daddy would like. I like fried apples too (especially with pork) but make fried apples bc daddy LOVES them!!!! I generally make them for him using my whatevet eyeball” ingredient method…even using pure maple syrup to get the caramelized effect. But this time used this recipe. It is true on TYPE of apple/and thickness u cut..must taste as cooked!! to prevent soggy. I love honeycrisp anyway so def HC go into my fried apple cooking. Also another pointer is if u need to “softened-thickned” faster..reduce heat and cover with lid
Thanks Side of Bread. You know those initials (SOB) can make one go uhmmmm.
