Come on in and have some of Uncle Fritzo's Fried Apples

[Fritzo]

I make these a couple times a month on Sunday mornings. Thought I'd share

You'll need-

5-6 tart apples. I like granny smith or macintosh.
Powdered sugar
Water
Butter
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Amaretto (optional)

Core and slice apples. You can leave the skins on. Melt butter in a large skillet, then fry the apples until tender. Add about 1 cup of powered sugar to the apples, then stir until it makes a thick paste. Add some water to make the paste into a syrup.

Add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. I like to add a couple of splashes of amaretto to give it a slightly "cherry" taste, but this is completely optional. If you do use amaretto be sure to let it simmer for an extra couple of minutes to cook off the alcohol.

Use it to mix into oatmeal or as a pancake topping. Hell- eat them right out of the pan (like my kids ). They should look something like this when done:

Enjoy!

Man, I had damn good recipe for fried apples. Completely forgot about it, wonder where I found it from.

There is nothing cherry tasting about Amaretto. How old is that shit?

:hmm:

Uh, amaretto liqueur does have a cherry taste- that's why it's paired with cherry recipies a lot.

Amaretto has a bit of a cherry taste, especially when mixed with other fruit. Amaretto tastes more like cherry than cherry lollipops do.

alcohol doesn't boil off as fast as people seem to think.

Ok, I'm not here to argue with you. You seem to know your fruits better than from your nuts.

I know you can be allergic to just about anything but, how the hell can you be allergic to raw apples but not cooked ones? Or, is that you just don't like raw apples due to texture or something?

Heating could break down problematic proteins and enzymes.

you mean like a bus driver?

 

[alfa147x]

have estimated quantities?

 

[KeithTalent]

Any reason why you use powdered sugar and not brown/golden sugar? I enjoy the caramel flavour you get from the darker sugars when making apples of this type, but am always up for trying something new.

Cherries too
There is an enzyme that gets converted by heat. Raw, I get immediate histamine reactions, my throat will get sore.
Cherry pie and apple pie are OK

I'm not sure what that means.

what he means is that Amaretto is made from almonds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameretto). Amaretto is a sweet liqueur and paired with a lot of things. I have never heard anyone say that it's cherry-flavored before though.

My friend swears that amaretto and coke tastes just like cherry coke. I'm inclined to agree with him, except with Dr. pepper instead of coke.

I could've sworn amaretto was from cherries...

I'll be right over!

I'm not the only one- I typed amaretto and cherry in Google and these were the first few hits:

Does almaratto taste like cherry or almonds

Amaretto -Tastes like the syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries

Pour the amaretto into a glass and then add the coke.

If you get the mixture right, it tastes just like cherry coke!

You guys seriously need to check your taste buds. Amaretto tastes nothing like cherries. I think it's fallout from mixing a sweet liqueur with soda.

It does have notes that are reminiscent of cherry. I'm talking about real cherries. Not pie, lollipops or anything else. I imagine that characteristic is strengthened when mixed with other fruit.

That looks delicious.
