Apple Fritters

So I suppose the old saying doesn't include apple fritters to keep doctors away, but I feel less guilty eating these (after all, it is a fruit serving). These fritters look like donuts, and taste a little CINN-ful :)

     Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 quarts oil for deep frying
• 4 large apples, peeled and cored
• 1/2 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for dusting

Directions:

1. Heat oil to 190' C (in a deep fryer or heavy bottomed deep)

2. Sift dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. 

3. Whisk together eggs and milk, and slowly combine dry ingredients. Mix until well blended

4. Slice the apples about 1/4" thin and dip in batter

5. Fry a few at a time, turning once, until golden. 

6. Drain on paper towels and roll in sugar and cinnamon while still warm
