Aunt Florence's Fried Apples 
From Holly

This first time I ever had fried apples was on a cold November morning in the early 50s. We were visiting my Great-Aunt Florence at her farm in northern Kansas and she fried up some apples and served them with ham and eggs.  Since then old fashioned fried apples have been a favorite  and they always remind me of Aunt Florence and her kitchen. She always used what apples were handy -- probably apples from the tree behind the spring house.

1. Core, peel and slice apples into thick slices. Place into a medium size skillet with butter and water.

2. Cook over medium heat, stirring to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until barely tender.
