Recipe: Apple or Peach Fritters (repost, 1940's)

I don't know if this is the same thing but I found this recipe in my grandmom's cookbook. It was passed on to my mom and then to me. It's from the New American Cookbook published in l947 (the year I was born...yikes!!)

This says it's for apple fritters but you do the same thing for peaches. It's not chopped apples, maybe it will work.

APPLE FRITTERS

1 cup of flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp.salt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
5 or 6 apples or peaches
Fat or oil for deep frying
Powdered sugar

Mix and sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk and well-beaten egg. Mix well.

For apples - pare, core and quarter. For peaches - cut peaches in half and then in quarters (removing stone).

Dip each piece of apple/peach in the batter and fry in deep hot fat (365 degrees) until brown. Drain on unglazed paper (presuming paper towel) and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I am definitely going to try this recipe. It sounds delicious.
