This recipe makes happy childhood memories of a warm kitchen on a chilly autumn day.
Serves 8
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 apples, Granny Smith, peeled, cored and cut into 1/3 inch round slices
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups canola oil
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and melted butter. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. If batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons milk and set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet over high heat until temperature reaches 350 degrees. Adjust heat if necessary. If the oil starts to smoke, it is too hot.
Sprinkle sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. Dip the apple slices in the batter and carefully drop into the oil and fry 2-3 minutes on one side. Turn over and fry for 2 minutes more until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Spoon 1/4 cup powdered sugar into strainer and tap lightly with your hand to sprinkle sugar on the fritters. Keep in warm oven until all the fritters are done and serve immediately.
