Could you cook over an open fire?
My family and I have frequently cooked outside in the backyard using only a wood-fire 'campfire'. We especially like to cook breakfast over an open fire. There is something exciting and comforting when you can cook successfully outdoors.
For apple 'fritter' dumplings, just use prepared 'store bought' biscuit/bread dough, un-fold from the container and hand fill or knead in peeled precooked apple chunks and then deep fry in hot oil over an open fire. Be sure to use a deep cast iron kettle and be extra careful as in cautious!
Do not toss the fritters in the oil as they will splash out the hot oil on you and the fire which could cause a serious burn to the cook and anyone standing near and cause the fire to roar out of control. Make a note, this could happen on stove top cooking as well so gently ladle in the fritters.
As soon as you see them bobble up to the top, turn them over to brown the other side. Once cooked, take them from the oil using a proper slotted ladle (metal or wood) as this drains off the oil; then place your fritters on a paper towel lined basket, sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
