FRIED APPLES'N'ONIONS (LITTLE HOUSE)
This is a traditional "country" dish. Sugar is optional, but I think it's better with it. Try this for breakfast with fried potatoes. This recipe came from "The Little House Cookbook" by Barbara M Walker, and the food featured in "Farm Boy."

Steps:
- Fry bacon or salt pork slices in a skillet until brown and crisp. Set them aside on a warm serving platter.
- While the meat is frying, peel the onions and slice them as thinly as possible.
- Core the apples and cut them crosswise in circles about 1/4 inches thick. Apple skins help the slices keep their shape and add color to the dish, so don't peel unless the skins are tough or scarred.
- Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet, then add the onion slices. Cook them over medium high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Cover with apple slices in an even layer. Sprinkle brown sugar over all, cover the skillet, and cook until tender, a few minutes more. Stir only to prevent scorching.
- Remove to the warm plate with the bacon or salt pork slices and serve.
