German Apple Fritters

Delicious.


4-5 medium apples, peeled and cored
2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. oil
dash of salt
1 cup milk
oil for frying
cinnamon sugar mixture

Slice apples into 1/4 slices.  Blend flour, baking powder, sugar, egg, 2 tbsp. oil, salt and milk.  Batter should be smooth and of good dropping consistency; add more milk if necessary.  Dip apple slices into batter and put into a skillet with 1/2 inch or more of hot oil.  Fry fritters quickly until golden brown on both sides; remove from oil and drain.  While still hot, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.  (I also sprinkled with powdered sugar).  Serve hot or cold.
