Another apple recipe

Have you ever had the pleasure of tasting fried apples'n'onions as Almanzo Wilder enjoyed them? If not, drop whatever you're doing and make some from this recipe.

Here's the passage in Farmer Boy chapter six "Filling the Ice-House" where fried apples'n'onions are mentioned:

"...[Almanzo] asked Royal:
'What would you like best to eat?'
They talked about spareribs, and turkey with dressing, and baked beans, and crackling cornbread, and other good things. But Almanzo said that what he liked most in the world was fried apples'n'onions.
When, at last, they went in to dinner, there on the table was a big dish of them! Mother knew what he liked best, and she had cooked it for him.
Almanzo ate four large helpings of apples'n'onions fried together. He ate roast beef and brown gravy, and mashed potatoes and creamed carrots and boiled turnips, and countless slices of buttered bread with crab-apple jelly.
'It takes a great deal to feed a growing boy,' Mother said."

Words of wisdom, those.
Come back often to LHCO for more "Little House"-inspired fun!
