dutch oven fried apples

Dutch Oven Fried Apples

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.

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart for God now accepteth thy works.N.B. Eat, Drink and be merry. See also Luke 1219 — Ecclesiastes 97

peachy dutch oven french toast

Peachy Dutch Oven French Toast

1 dozen eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 loaf French or Italian bread, sliced
1/2 pound butter or margarine
1 pound brown sugar
3 (16 ounce) cans peaches, drained and quartered

Heat a large Dutch oven by covering it with coals for 15 minutes.

Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Slice the bread and let it soak in the egg mixture.

Remove preheated oven from coals and melt butter in the bottom. Add brown sugar and mix well with butter until caramelized. Put the drained peaches over the caramelized sugar. Place the egg/bread mixture on top of the peaches, cover with lid and return the Dutch oven to the coals. Bake 45 minutes at about 350 degrees F (medium hot coals. Cooking time is shorter if the temperature is higher, but watch the edges so they don burn). For the first 10 minutes, use coals only on the bottom. Then add coals to the oven top and continue baking until done. With the caramel topping, you probably won even need syrup.

Serves 8.
