FRIED APPLES

Melt small amount of butter or margarine in a heavy
skillet. Add apples and salt. Stir to coat apples with
butter. Continue to cook over medium heat for
several minutes, stirring almost constantly. Add
water to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 to 1/2 inches.
Cover and simmer until most of water has
evaporated. Watch closely as apples will definitely
burn if all the water evaporates. Check for doneness,
adding more water if necessary. Just before apples
are done, add sugar and nutmeg to taste. Stir con-
stantly after adding sugar to prevent sticking and
scorching.
Good served with hot sausage and hot homemade buttered
biscuits.
