Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gradually stir in milk and well-beaten egg. Add finely chopped apples. Mix ingredients together into a batter.

2. In a skillet or fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil at about 375°. Drop batter from spoon ("about the size of a walnut") into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, remove from skillet, and place on paper towel to soak up excess oil. Serve warm with lemon sauce.

In a saucepan, mix cornstarch, sugar and salt. Add boiling water. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens. Turn heat to low.
Stir in lemon rind, juice and butter. Serve hot with apple fritters.

Notes:
If you are not serving the fritters with lemon sauce, you can add some lemon zest into the batter. After frying, sprinkle the apple fritters with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
