FRIED APPLES & ONIONS

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb Bacon -- sliced
2 lb Onions
2 lb Apples -- tart, chopped
2 tb Sugar, brown

Salt pork may be substituted for the bacon.

Fry bacon slices in 12" skillet until brown and crisp.
Set aside on a warm serving platter.

While meat is frying, peel onions, leaving stems to
hold for slicing. To prevent your eyes from watering,
hold a slice of bread in your teeth while you slice
the onions as thin as possible. Discard stems.

Core apples and cut crosswise in circles about 1/4"
thick. Apple skins help the slices hold their shape
and add color to the dish, so don't peel unless skins
are tough or scarred.

Drain all but 1 tb fat from skillet, then add onion
slices. Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes.
Cover with apple slices in an even layer. Sprinkle
brown sugar over all, cover skillet, & cook until
tender, a few minutes more. Stir only to prevent
scorching. Remove to warm plate with bacon slices.

This is a "country" dish, seldom mentioned in
cookbooks but recalled by many oldtimers. Some feel
sugar is essential; others call it a "sin." If you
share Almanzo's enthusiasm you might also like to try
fried apples'n'onions with fried potatoes for
breakfast sometime.

Here is the recipe Fried Apples'n'Onions from the
Little House Cookbook.
