Introduction

This post is being updated. It was originally posted in 2016. Frisch’s Big Boy is now a thing of the past. I was fortunate to find a place that served these apples, but it’s 4.5 hours away. That’s not feasible. So I am glad I have this recipe.

Original blog post: Hubby and I love the baked apples at Frisch’s Big Boy.  When we go to eat there, we usually order the apples as one of our side dishes.

I also like fried apples.  However, I don’t usually have fried apples properly, so this is an easy alternative.

You need to use a good cooking apple when making the “baked” apple.  When I made it, I used Jonagold apples, which were a good apple to use for this recipe.

When I made these apples, I first cored the apples and then peeled them.  (It really doesn’t matter which order you do it in.)  Then I cut the apple in half and then each half into fourths.  So I ended up with 8 slices per apple.

What you need

baking apples

sugar

cinnamon

maple syrup
