FRIED APPLES / CRACKER BARREL KNOCK-OFF RECIPE
I’ve researched this until I was satisfied with the recipe. Then I made it but I was not totally happy.
I added a few ingredients that made my recipe just like the fried apples I get from Cracker Barrel.
Below you will find what I consider the exact recipe.
INGREDIENTS
7 small to medium OR 5 Large Golden Delicious apples. It’s not that critical.
3 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple juice for making the sauce
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 and 1/2 Tsp. apple pie spice
6 Tbsp. white sugar (brown sugar is ok)
2 Tbsp. salted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash and core the apples.
Cut the apples into 3/4” slices. Cutting them too thin will cause them to break up easily.
Put all the cut up apples in a 12” skillet with high sides and add 2 cups of apple juice and bring to a low boil.
Cover and simmer until the apples get soft. Verify softness by inserting a fork into the side of the apples.
Remove the apples from the skillet leaving the juice. Put the apples in a serving container.
In a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup apple juice, sugar, spices, cornstarch and whisk until combined.
Add this mixture to the remaining apple juice in the skillet. Heat and whisk until the sauce thickens.
I use a medium to high heat at first, then low to medium while whisking.
Now add the butter and whisk until melted.
Last, pour this over the apples and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
If you want to preserve the apples, this recipe makes two quarts.
