Fried Apples 'N' Onions Recipe - Just like Mrs. Wilder made
Fried and apples and onions is a delicious old-fashioned recipe that's stood the test time of time with the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and salty!
Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon or salt pork
- 6 yellow onions
- 6 apples
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Cut bacon into strips, then fry until crisp.
- While bacon is cooking, slice onions and core apples.
- Remove cooked bacon to a warm platter.
- In the remaining bacon grease, add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add apple slices in even layer over onions and then sprinkle the brown sugar over all.
- Cover skillet, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, until apples begin to soften. Stir only to prevent burning or sticking, approximately once every 45-60 seconds.
- Serve warm.
Notes
You can use any type of apple you wish, but traditionally a tart and firm apple was used. Feel free to sub in white or red onions.
