Vegetable oil or shortening
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
1 (20 ounce) can sliced apples
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar
Put about 1 inch of oil in Dutch oven and place over coals. Put butter
in small pan and place near fire to melt. Open can of sliced apples
and put apples in one bowl, draining the liquid.
Break egg into other bowl and add flour, milk, sugar and melted
butter.
When shortening in Dutch oven is hot, put a few pieces of apple in the
batter and coat completely with batter. Use the small fork and lift
one piece out. Turn over once. If it browns in 2 minutes, shortening
is hot enough. Use large cooking fork to turn over and to remove from
shortening. Continue the process with from 6 to 10 slices of apple in
Dutch oven at any one time. Increase number of coals under oven if it
takes 1 minute. When you take apple slices out of Dutch oven, put on
paper towel to absorb surplus shortening. Let cool 3 to 4 minutes,
then dust with confectioners' sugar.
