Thanks to a mail order Christmas gift, we had apples begging to be used. A pie would be my first choice, but after nearly non-stop eating over the holidays, I settled for something like pie without the crust--fried apples. It was the perfect accompaniment to our meal of chicken and rice, green beans, and buttermilk biscuit. I'll spoon it over vanilla ice cream for dessert.Fried Apples
5 or 6 apples, peeled and cut into thick slices
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon caramel cream liqueur
In a large skillet, over medium high heat, melt butter just till it begins to brown; add apples and let them simmer for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over apples, toss to coat, cover and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Uncover and add vanilla and liqueur and mix thoroughly--let bubble until liquid thickens a bit.

I was going to ask you tell me how you did fried apples! They look so good.... YUM!
I loved fried apples when I was growing up. I haven't had them in years.... they look good.
DH makes Fried Apples to serve over quinoa. We don't have it often, but it is good when we do!
This sounds oh so dangerous :) Cutey blog here!
Of course, I am in love with the addition of the caramel cream liqueur. I think that must make ALL the difference. Would certainly encourage me to eat an apple a day! grins.
