Annie’s Fried Cinnamon Apples
You only need five ingredients for the perfect fall side dish: fried cinnamon apples! Serve this fried apple recipe alone or over pork chops.
Last week, we finally had a fall day! And last night, it got down to 50 and we were able to leave the windows open while we were sleeping. For me, this weather is just absolute heaven! Give me some fall food like these fried apples, and a cozy blanket, and I am perfectly content.
These early signs of fall have me overexcited, and of course with fall comes apple season! They’re abundant and affordable, and at their juiciest right now!
When I have an abundance of fresh apples in the house, this cinnamon fried apple recipe becomes my go-to side dish!
My Mom made me these fried apples for many years, and they just feel like fall to me!
As an added bonus, they are SO easy to make and just have five simple ingredients: apples, water, butter, cinnamon and sugar!
The hardest part of making these cinnamon apples is just cutting the apples! Which of course, is made much easier with an apple slicer. After your apples are sliced, all you have to do is throw all of the ingredients into a pan, and let it work its magic!
These fried apples are my mom’s original recipe that she’s been making for over 30 years! Go, Mom!

I love Fall baking and I can’t wait to get started. The smell of apples and cinnamon is a must. I will be making this very soon. Can’t wait!
Dear Michelle, We love fried apples at our house too. We often have them over waffles or mixed with raisins and kielbasa for a quick breakfast. Yours look delicious!
Ahhhhh yummy! I’ve never thought of pairing them with waffles. Heck yeah!
I can only imagine the smell of these cooking! Love how simple this recipe is!
Thanks Jessica!
Oh, yum! I’m a year-round apple kind of girl, but they sure do get better right about now. I’m going to have to try this!
I love you have the recipe card. Your progeny will have this digital record but there is still something about recipes written on paper. Delicious recipe. I guess it strikes me so because I have a similar version of this dish from my grandmother written on a card.
Totally agree. My husband is always pushing me to go 100% digital, but I love having recipes in my Mom and Grandma’s handwriting.
We grew up simple recipes like fried apples. So good.
Yes Shirley!
Nothing like delicious apples to let you know fall is coming! I’m going to keep this on hand (it’s still in the 90s at night here in Phoenix – ugh) for when the weather is more enjoyable! Nice!
There’s nothing better than apples and cinnamon, such a great combination!
I love those family favorites that remind you of a specific season, and you end up looking forward to them. I want some of these warm apples over a cold vanilla or cinnamon ice cream…
It’s so fun to have a recipe from your childhood and your mom to share!
