The frying of apples successfully is a ticklish matter, it must be
admitted, but if the fruit is perfectly sound when peeled, cored, and
quartered, the fat piping hot, with only a few pieces dropped in at a
time, if, as I say, all these conditions prevail and your fried apples
be not a success, then rest assured there is some witchcraft at work
and you are in no wise to blame. The pity will be none the less,
however, for nothing so complements delicious little pork chops for a
luncheon dish as apples so prepared. And pork chops, by the way, are
quite to be desired these cool autumn days.
