Dutch Oven Fried Apples
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil or shortening
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 (20 ounce) can sliced apples
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- Confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- 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 for 3 to 4 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
