Fried apples in caramel

4 servings

35 minutes

Fried apples in caramel are a refined dessert that evokes cozy memories of home warmth. Its roots trace back to Russian cuisine, where simplicity and natural ingredients blend in harmony of flavors. Crispy pieces of apples fried in caramel acquire a rich, deep taste with subtle notes of cinnamon. They remain juicy inside but are covered with a caramel crust outside. The dish can be served as an independent dessert, dusted with powdered sugar, or used as a filling for pancakes, waffles, and pies. It is especially popular in autumn when fresh apples combine with the warmth and sweetness of caramel, creating an atmosphere of comfort and enjoyment.
