1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed +additional for sprinkling
4 Granny Smith or Golden Delicios apples

In a bowl whisk together the flour, beer, and the salt till the batter is smooth and let it stand, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour. In another bowl combine the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar.
