APPLE FRITTERS

I prepared many batches of these during my restaraunt days. This recipe came form Stephensons Apple Restaurant in Jayne, Missouri. My parents and I ate there from time to time when they lived in Rogers, Arkansas. GREAT FOOD!
1 Cup Milk
1 Large Egg, beaten
4 Tablespoons Margarine
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Medium Orange Rind and Juice
1 Cup Apples, chopped fine
3 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Beat egg. In a mixing bowl combine the milk, egg, and melted margarine. Add the orange juice, rind, chopped apples, (some skins can be left on) and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder. Stir into milk mixture with a spoon until blended. Do not overmix. Preheat oil in a skillet to 350. Drop batter off end of tablespoon into hot oil. Fry to a golden brown. Turn so they brown evenly. Allow to cool. Roll in powdered sugar.

These are great to serve with salads or as an appetizer.
