I saw these cans of fried apples in syrup w/cinnamon in the store a few weeks back... The can said, "Top your ice cream with apples"... So I bought a few cans... Good stuff... Bought a few more cans... Then my neighbor brought me about 35#'s of apples assorted.. Golden Delicious, Jazz, Honey Crisp, Fuji, and some new varieties they are breeding....
Well, I thought, "I can make fried apples".... So I searched and printed off a few recipes and started in....
First off, if you haven't seen one of the new Kitchen Aid peeler, corer, slicer, dicer things... They are the cats PJ's.... I've had this one for about 4 years.. We used it on all hard fruit... pear relish, apple pie slices, dehydrated fruit slices... anywho, it's awesome...
My oldest granddaughter is helping...
I soaked the apples in a vinegar solution to kill stuff... core and peel on the amazing contraption.. cut the slices in half... Threw them into a butter, white sugar, brown sugar mix.. added lemon juice to keep the slices from browning... Added cinnamon to taste...
Simmered until the apples just mildly cooked but still crisp, sort of...
Holey kow, the sugar surely sucks the juice out of the apple slices... I cut the sugar a bit short from the recipes so it wouldn't be too sweet.. cut the cinnamon a bit short so it wouldn't over power the apple flavor... My 1500W electric skillet is on an SCR controller so it is only running on about 400W and won't burn stuff...

Came out really good.... I'll tweak the recipe next time... The mix is in the refer blooming... I'll know the "real" flavor profile tomorrow, maybe... then I'll know what to tweak on the recipe...
