“This is one of my all time favorite southern dishes, I had fried apples all the time as a child in Virginia. As an Adult I love it most with Pork chops…(Instead of applesauce)” – Ladd
“THANK YOU for this recipe!!! It seems to be just what my grandmother used to make…I was born in Virginia and moved to Michigan at age 3. My mother wasn’t all that fond of cooking, so she couldn’t tell me how to make these…also, she had Alzheimer’s. I have searched for this recipe for a very long time! Will be making these very soon! BTW, love your site!” – Jan
