Cracker Barrel Fried Apples [0000513]

Ingredients:

4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (use varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apples in the skillet. Stir to coat the apples evenly.

Pour the water and gluten-free vanilla extract over the apples.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Stir occasionally to ensure the apples are evenly coated in the sweet and spicy syrup.

Once the apples are tender and the sauce is thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.

Serve your gluten-free Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples as a delicious side dish or dessert.

Enjoy your homemade Fried Apples, reminiscent of Cracker Barrel's classic treat!
