List of Ingredients



• 2 tart, medium cooking apples, such as Jonathan or Granny Smith
  
• 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  
• 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
  
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup milk
  
• 1 tsp cooking oil
  
• Shortening or cooking oil for deep-fat frying

Instructions



1. Core apples and cut each apples crosswise into 6 slices. Set slices aside.
   
2. In a large bowl combine flour, the 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, lemon peel and baking powder.
