Could you can these after they’re done? Water bath?
I have never canned these personally but I think you could.
How much does it make
Can I make this using sugar free sugars (white and brown)?
Yeah, I think you could use a sugar substitute.
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
Hmm I am not sure Lisa. I think the brown sugar and ground cinnamon help add to the browning, did you maybe add less?
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!
I am so glad you liked it!
Can you cook the apples on low? Or will that change the texture.
You can cook them on low. It would just take longer.
Can these be put in canning jars, and preserved?
Yes they can!
Can you leave the peelings on?
I peel them but you can leave it on, whatever you liked best!
Do you think they could be frozen?
Yes this can be frozen after cooking and cooling.
