Name: Easy Bourbon Fried Apples Recipe
Total time: 25 mins
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons water; 1 tablespoon butter; 1 tablespoon Bourbon whiskey; 2 large apples, cored and chopped; 1 tablespoon raisins; 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar; 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice

These bourbon fried apples offer a healthier twist on traditional fried apples. Leaving the skin on and reducing butter and sugar, we boost the flavor with bourbon, raisins, cinnamon, and lemon juice. I recommend using Cameo apples for their natural sweetness and shape retention, but if you opt for a tarter variety, consider increasing the brown sugar and skipping the lemon juice. Golden rum works perfectly as a bourbon substitute in this recipe.

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine water, butter, and bourbon; stir until butter is melted.
