  1. Hi I just tried your recipe for your fried apples. They are as you said they are tender. But mine won’t brown like it showed on the picture. I followed everything to the t. But they won’t brown what did I do wrong

    1. Hmm I am not sure Lisa. I think the brown sugar and ground cinnamon help add to the browning, did you maybe add less?

  2. Great Great Great!!! easiest recipe i ever followed. Everyone at church loved them! Apples where very delicious, now the church request i bring them! thanks for sharing this recipe!
