About

What an unusual combination! And yet what a scrumptious side dish! Fried Apples & Onions brings out the best in its two major ingredients: the onions benefit from the sweetness and crispness of the tender cooked apples, while the apples gain a little savory flavor from the onions. A brown sugar topping adds a compellingly sweet and smoky element to this delightful side, ready to really emphasize a roasted chicken or slab of juicy pork. Which brings us to two questions: whoever would have thought of Fried Apples & Onions before?! And how will you ever stop thinking about it after you try it?!
