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.

Pan Preparation
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Pineapple, sliced (canned)
Maraschino cherries
Pecan halves
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cake Batter
2 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons pineapple juice from fruit
1 cup sifted Gold Medal flour or Softasilk
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare the pan: melt butter in heavy cast iron skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange drained slices of pineapple over butter-sugar coating, and garnish well with maraschino cherries and pecan halves in the spaces.
Cake Batter: Beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored (5 minutes). Gradually beat in sugar. Add pineapple juice and vanilla extract.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt and beat into mixture all at once. Pour batter over fruit and nuts. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until wooden pick thrust into center of cake comes out clean. Immediately turn upside-down on serving plate. Do not remove pan for a few minutes; brown sugar mixture will run down over cake instead of clinging to pan.
Serve warm, plain, or with whipped cream.
