Fine fruit is the most perfect union of the useful and the beautiful that the earth knows.
Charlotte's Fried apples
Fried apples are such a simple dish that they hardly require a recipe; however, I am happy to share mine. For a traditional Charlottesville fall meal of fried ham or porkchops, nothing accompanies better than fried apples
(4 servings)
Ingredients
6 large apples peeled, cored, and cut into 1 inch wedges
Charlotte's current top 3 favorite apples: Winesaps, or anything in the Winesaps family (black twig Arkansas black), Albemarle Pippin, or Goldrush
Directions
- Preheat a skillet to to medium-high
- Once your skillet is hot, Add all your apples & the 1/2 cup of apple cider
- reduce the heat and cook until tender
- once most of the cider has evaporated or been absorbed, finish with 2-4 tablespoons butter and sugar to tast
This is best with highly flavored apples (if nothing else granny smiths will work, but avoid fuji and red delicious)
