And for some delicious Ozark recipes:

FRIED APPLES


3 tart cooking apples (unpeeled)

1 or 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil (our ancestors used bacon grease)

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. brown sugar (to taste)

Wash, core and slice apples. Add to hot oil, cover with lid and cook on medium until apples are tender. Add sugars after apples are tender, stirring to blend. Remove from heat. Serves 4.

Optional method: add sugar before apples are tender; reduce heat because sugar makes them brown faster. Adding sugar before apples are tender produces firmer, chewier apples.
