Grandma's Fried Apple Recipe, Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

This time of the year for me is about remembering and when I remember it always seems to include food. I grow up in a  family that was always in the kitchen and around the table. My Grandma C. cooked her entire life for a living and for love,

This is One of my favorites:

Grandma's Fried Apples

Cut and core 5-6 of the firmest apples you can find.  

These are red delicious.

In a pan add 2 big Tablespoons 

of butter or margarine, let it melt a bit add apples

 1/2 cup brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon ground nutmeg.

I measure nothing in this recipe, just add ! 

Stir and let the apples get soft and cook down. 

15-20 minutes over a medium heat.

I like them just like this, but over ice cream, white cake, french toast

or pancakes are wonderful too !

Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving
