Recipe - Northern Spy Apple Fritters

Three fourths cup Yellow cornmeal
One half cup Allpurpose flour
2 tablespoon Baking powder
6 tablespoon Sugar
1 pn Of salt
1 Egg
One half cup Milk
1 One half cup Vegetable oil for frying
1 Northern Spy apple, peeled,
cored and chopped
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Confectioner's sugar for
garnish

Combine all dry ingredients (except for confectioners sugar). Add liquid
ingredients (except for 1 One half cups of oil) one at a time, stirring between
additions. Mix in apple. Let batter sit for 10 minutes. In a 1quart
saucepan over medium highheat, heat the oil until it crackles, not quite
to the smoking point. Take precautionary measures for using hot oil! Drop
batter into the oil 1 tbls. at a time (get close so the oil doesn't
splash). Fry only 2 or 3 fritters at a time. Don't crowd the pan. Flip the
fritters over and remove onto a paper towel when golden brown. Sprinkle
with confectioners sugar and serve.

Makes 15 to 18 fritters.
