Fried Apples & Onions

Directions

Fry bacon slices in 12 inch 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 ¼ inch 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 tablespoon 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, and cook until tender, a few minutes more.

Stir only to prevent scorching. Remove to warm plate with bacon slices.
