Fried Cinnamon Apples

They were on sale, what can I say.  This is a quick delicious simple recipe to serve when pork chops or pork roast or ham are on the menu.  We serve these as dessert, topped with a little whipped cream because my husband loves whipped cream.  Plain cream poured on top or serving them over ice cream is perfect too. 

I use my apple wedger to cut my apple slices; if you cut them thinly they may not need to cook as long, you don’t want them mushy.
