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?
