Yield: 3 dozen

1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated fresh apples, or 1 can apple pie filling
powdered sugar

Beat egg well, then mix with milk. Blend flour, baking powder, and salt into egg mixture. Stir in apples. Drop by tablespoonsful into hot grease. Deep-fry at 350° until golden brown. Roll hot fritters in powdered sugar. If you like a sweeter fritter, add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to batter. Canned chunk pineapple can be used instead of apples.

These are best hot, just out of the fryer, but are pretty good for a couple of hours if they last that long.
