Instructions: Last month, Regelin came across a stash of cookbooks a client was giving away, and as usual, picked out a few for my collection. Any profit Regelin makes from her discoveries goes to the animal shelter, so for a small donation, I acquired several volumes, including the "LBJ Barbecue Cook Book," written by Walter Jetton, then caterer to the LBJ Ranch.

President Johnson likes these and so does just about everybody. It is the all-time favorite of all the desserts I have ever fixed.

Cover apples, orange and lemon with water and cook over the fire for about 15 minutes - until they are tender. Remove from the heat and add the butter and sugar, mixing well. Let the ranch apple mixture chill. Now roll out your pastry and cut it in 4-inch circles. Add 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture to each circle and fold it over. Press the edges together and fry in deep fat until brown.
