★ Apples in Oil

Simmer finely-sliced onion in oil 5-10 m. without browning; add salt and a little water, then apples which have been washed, quartered, cored and sliced without paring. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Cover and cook until apples are just tender, not broken. Serve for breakfast or supper, or with a meat dish instead of a vegetable, for luncheon or dinner.

The onion may be omitted. Use a little sugar when apples are very sour.
