"Help! Why Are My Fried Apples Always Mushy? "

[Dom]

Hi there, fellow cooks! I need some assistance with my fried apples—they keep turning out mushy instead of crispy and golden. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I'm eager to learn and improve my technique! Thanks for your help!

Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying, and don't overcrowd the pan. This helps keep the apples crisp instead of turning mushy!

Sounds like you're overcooking them or using the wrong apples – try using firmer varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, and cook them just until they start to soften but still have some bite.
