List of Ingredients
8 med firm cooking apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, separated
grated rind of 1 lemon
1/2 cup milk
vegetable oil for deep frying
confectioner's sugar
Recipe
Core the apples, peel them, then
slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch
slices.
Combine the brown sugar and lemon
juice in a 10-inch shallow dish, and
add the apple slices, spooning the
sauce over both sides of the fruit.
Allow to stand 1 hour, turning the
slices occasionally.
Preheat 2-3 inches of oil in an
electric skillet to 375 degrees F.
Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar,
cinnamon and salt in a shallow bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks
thoroughly and add the rind and milk;
combine with the dry ingredients.
In a mixer bowl, beat the egg whites
until stiff and gently fold them into
the flour mixture.
The batter will be puffy and there
should be some patches of white showing.
Dip the apple slices into the batter-it
will not cooperatively adhere to the apple
because of the marinade, but firmly push
the slices into the batter until both
sides are coated.
With tongs, drop the apple into the hot
oil and cook until the fritter is gold
brown on one side-this takes about 2
minutes - then turn and fry the other
side, about 1 minute.
Drain on paper towels, and keep warm
in the oven until all the fritters are
prepared.
Sprinkle very scantily with confectioner's
sugar and serve hot.
Serves 8-10
