APPLE FRITTERS

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsps. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 medium firm apples such as golden delicious or granny smith
3 tsps. fresh lemon juice
vegetable oil for frying
maple syrup

Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar;
set aside. In a large mixer bowl, beat the eggs lightly. add the milk
and vanilla and blend. Peel and core the apples, chop finely and
toss with the lemon juice. Add the dry ingredients gradually to the
milk mixture, then add the apples. Blend.

Heat an electric skillet to 365*. add enough oil to reach about 1/4"
deep.

Drop the batter by heaping teaspoons into the skillet, patting each
fritter down a bit; they will be approximately 2 1/2" in diameter.
Fry until golden on one side, then turn and brown the second side,
about three minutes. Drain on paper towels, then transfer to a
platter and keep warm in the oven while you fry the rest. Serve
with warmed maple syrup. Makes about 4 dozen. This recipe is
from Michigan.
