Apple Fritters

Once again taken from allrecipes.com, Apple Fritters I

Here are my changes:

Only 2 apples peeled, cored, and diced small. I have also used pears with great results.

To soften the fruit microwave them for 2 minutes before adding to the batter.

I omitted the nutmeg.

I used half whole wheat flour.

Batter will be gloopy, it's supposed to be, but they fry up very airy, I found it best the use a cup and pour the batter into the hot oil in a more oval shape.

Ingredients

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

1. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until smooth.
2. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep fryer or heavy bottomed deep pot or skillet.
3. Slice apples into 1/2 inch rings. Dip apple slices in batter and fry, a few at a time, turning once, until golden. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar.
