Apple Fritters

2 C. flour

1/4 C sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp nutmeg

3 tsp baking powder

1/4 C oil

1 egg

3/4 C milk

4-6 apples, peeled and diced into small pieces.

-frying oil (I use vegetable oil)

1. Heat frying oil to 350 degrees on stovetop. Be extremely careful and don't take your eyes off the pan. Frying oil is dangerous and can burst into flames and burn down your kitchen. (we had this happen while making potato pancakes once). If you are careful and keep a close eye, this will not happen. Just be careful and you'll have nothing to worry about.

2. Mix together all ingredients. Stir in apples. Dough will be sticky.

3. Drop teaspoon size pieces of dough into oil when oil is ready. You know it's ready when oil fizzes with a drop of water.

4. Around the dough the oil will start to form small bubbles after a few minutes. Turn over and fry other side. They should be golden brown.

5. Let cool on paper bags or paper towels (to absorb oil). Serve warm.

I like to top them off with powdered sugar.
