I had a hankerin’ for some fried apples so I made some 
-
6 large apples, peeled, cored, and wedged. I am the world’s worst apple peeler, they end up square, leave the skins on if you want
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (honestly, it’s just cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg)
-
2 tablespoons corn starch
-
3 tablespoons water
INSTRUCTIONS -
Peel, core, and wedge the apples, leave the skins on if you want. (I don’t like them)
-
Heat a very large skillet over medium-low heat. Melt the butter and brown sugar.
-
Place all of the apple wedges into the pan and toss them around to coat with the butter/sugar mixture. Put a lid on the skillet, and let them cook a few minutes.
-
Toss the apples to coat in the butter/brown sugar mix. Once they have begun to cook down, sprinkle the spices over top and stir them again.
-
Cook on medium-low or low for 20-30 minutes, stirring at least every 4-6 minutes.
-
When the apples are starting to get soft, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour this slurry into the apples.
-
Continue to cook 4-5 more minutes until apples have a thick sauce
Now you could leave well enough alone here but I made a crumb topping
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup oats
1/4 cup cold butter
Pulse all ingredients in a food processor just until combined, if you don’t have one of those use a pastry cutter, if you don’t have one of those use a fork, if you don’t have one of those use your hands.
Top apple mixture with oat mixture and bake in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes
Serve while hot-a nice scoop of ice cream would be lovely but I didn’t have any (read: I already ate it all)
Enjoy!!!
