Fried Apple slices are cooked in a cast iron skillet with the flavor of cinnamon. And these Fried Cinnamon Apples are cooked with a bit of crunch left in the center like your mom made for breakfast.
My hubby has always talked about his Mom’s fried apple slices that she served over pancakes or waffles in the morning. And I always thought they were stewed apples with a thick syrupy glaze. But I should have known my hubby better. They are apples cooked in a cast iron skillet with the flavor of cinnamon, not too sweet and not overcooked, but left with a bit of crunch in the center.

Can they be made ahead and frozen?

Not really, these are cooked until there is a slight crunch in the middle and freezing would change that. But if you do freeze it could you let us know. Thank You

I make something similar but am glad to hear that a cast iron skillet is better - will try that next time with your recipe !
