Amish Apple Fritters Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 med -hard cooking apples
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1/4 c. lemon juice
- 1 c. flour
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 x Large eggs separated grated rind of 1 lemon
- 1/2 c. lowfat milk vegetable oil for deep frying confectioner's sugar
Directions
- Core the apples, peel them, then slice them crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Combine the brown sugar and lemon juice in a 10-inch shallow dish, and add in the apple slides, spooning the sauce over both sides of the fruit. Allow to stand 1 hour, turning the slices occasionally.
- Preheat 2-3 inches of oil in an electric skillet to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a shallow bowl. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks thoroughly and add in the rind and lowfat milk; combine with the dry ingredients. In a mixer bowl, beat the egg whites till stiff and gently fold them into the flour mix. The batter will be puffy and there should be some patches of white showing.
- Dip the apple slices into the batter-it won't cooperatively adhere to the apple because of the marinade, but firmly push the slices into the batter till both sides are coated. With tongs, drop the apple into the warm oil and cook till the fritter is gold brown on one side-this takes about 2 min-then turn and fry the other side, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels, and keep hot in the oven till all the fritters are prepared. Sprinkle very scantily with confectioner's sugar and serve warm.
