Sweet skillet apples cooked in butter, brown sugar, maple syrup & nutmeg
Fresh from the skillet — new cookin' straight from the holler!
The sweet skillet apples I grew up eatin’ on top of pancakes with a big ol’ dollop of whipped cream. Nothin’ made my heart happier as a barefoot boy in the holler than wakin’ up to the smell of Granny’s baked apples cookin’ in her old cast-iron skillet.
This was a fall favorite in the holler. All year long I looked forward to fall and going to Granny’s. The leaves would start turnin’, the air would get that crisp bite, and I’d know those apples were comin’. She’d pull out that old skillet and fill the whole house with the smell of butter, brown sugar, maple, and nutmeg. I keep that tradition alive to this day, and I hope you take it to your family as well.

Cletus Pro Tips from the Holler
Use tart apples so they hold their shape.
Campfire style works great — same recipe, just use your cast-iron over the fire.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2 days and taste even better warmed up.
