Fried Apples?

Thusadeedoo

I love love love the Fried Apples from Cracker Barrel. I went apple picking this weekend so I need ideas for what to do with these.

Does anyone have a Grandma Paula Deen look-alike recipe to share?

Also any ideas on what else I can do with these apples besides eat them and make apple pie?

Not sure about fried apples, but I made the most delicious apple crisp after I went picking.

Skip the pears and use 6 large apples. Also you can cut out most of the sugar in the apple mixture.

I would just google apple recipes.  I don't think there's any end to what you can do with them.

Now I want to make a tart.

Drool just started coming out of my mouth reading this.

I never would have thought it was that simple. For some reason when I think of "frying" I automatically assume you need to coast and dredge before hitting the pan. I **think** I can do this!

I felt like I was on Forest Gump.  I have never made apple dumplings, but they are YUMMY!

:barfs: I loathe Waldorf Salad. My aunt makes it every Thanksgiving and everyone yums it up, to me it just reminds me of vomit for some reason.

How did I forget carmel/candied apples!?  Those are the best!

Cracker Barrel leaves the skin on, can I too? Or maybe I will just do some with and some without? Or does that ruin the Southern Fried goodness of it?

Mmmmmm . . . fried apples.

Apples are also delish in coffee cake or muffins.  And they're pretty darn tasty just cut up and dipped in peanut butter.

I do a few with skin and a few without.  I think it is a personal preference.
