My Grandmother made fried apples a lot. This was basically the recipe she used. She always had a jar of bacon drippings in the fridge for flavoring dishes, as do I. A little bit of drippings adds a ton of flavor and the key to all things is moderation. She lived to be 87 years old.

A good recipe will tell you how to chop apples, finger length? cubed? how wide? Strange it is not complete like that. It looks as if it is a healthy fingerlength.

To answer your question Chef...... my family used butter or margarine not bacon drippings. Of course you can't have the heat too high when you melt it 'cause it will burn. Love fried apples!

This recipe was ok, to me the amount of bacon drippings needs to be reduced, all I could taste was the bacon.
