Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large onions, sliced
2 Tbsp butter, melted
6 large cooking apples, unpeeled and sliced
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Saute the onions in melted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until tender.
  • 2. Place the apple slices on top of the onions. Combine the brown sugar and the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over the apple slices. Cover and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • 3. Uncover and simmer an additional 5 minutes or until the apple slices are tender. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Apples will hold their shape better and release less pectin when cooked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are good choices.
  • Slice apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to make clean, even slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will cause the apples to steam instead of fry. Cook the apples in batches if necessary.
  • Use a little oil or butter: This will help the apples brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat: This will allow them to caramelize without burning.
  • Stir the apples frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add onions halfway through cooking: This will allow the onions to soften and caramelize without overpowering the apples.
  • Season with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the apples and onions.
  • Serve immediately: Fried apples and onions are best served hot.

    Conclusion:

    Fried apples and onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious dish that will please everyone at your table.
