This was so easy to make and tasted like I'd spent a lot of time preparing it. I am making it again to take to my mother's for Thanksgiving.
Skillet Fried Apples
Serve this versatile side dish with baked ham and cheese grits, or spoon over hot buttered biscuits. Balsamic vinegar and onion give the variation a savory note that's perfect with grilled chicken or pan-fried pork chops. Both versions are delicious sprinkled with lightly salted, roasted pecans.
