Southern Fried Apples

Southern fried apples are tender apple wedges cooked in a skillet with browned butter, brown sugar, and warm spices until they collapse just slightly into their own cinnamon syrup. Searing the fruit in hot butter before the sugar goes in caramelizes the edges and keeps the slices intact, so you get soft, glazed apples instead of applesauce. They land somewhere between a side dish and a dessert — classic alongside biscuits, pork chops, or a big country breakfast.
