GEBACKENE APFELSPALTEN
(Apple Fritters)

1 cup flour (scant)
3/4 cup milk
1 whole egg
1-2 tablespoons sugar
3 apples, medium size
sugar, very fine
cinnamon (optional)

Blend flour and milk in a bowl. Add egg and sugar. Mix. Refrigerate batter for a few hours. Stir to remove remaining lumps.

Core and peel apples. Cut into round slices about 1/4 inch thick, with hole of core in centers. Drop apple slices into batter. When well coated, fry into hot deep fat (375 F) over low flame until lightly brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon or fork and drain on absorbent paper.

Keep warm on hot plate. Sprinkle with very fine sugar combined with cinnamon (optional).

Makes about 24 pieces.
