Fried Apples

by Mary Helen "Mamie" Dixon Lincoln

sliced, unpeeled apples

cinnamon

butter

cabbage (optional)

onions (optional)

Slice but do not peel the apples.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and fry in butter.  Sliced cabbage also tastes good fried along with the apples.

~Mary Lincoln Olson said her mother fried cabbage with the apples, but her sister Roxie Lincoln Dean didn't like cabbage and said her mother fried the apples with onions.

~When Mamie moved to Yakima, she soon discovered that apples were plentiful, so she made apple pie, apple butter,  fried apples and canned apple pie filling.  Her grandson remembers that Mamie's house always smelled like apples. She kept boxes of red and yellow apples on her porch.
