Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

6 large large apples

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons sugar

fresh lemon juice

1 egg -- separated

1/2 cup milk

powdered sugar -- sifted

Peel and core apples. Slice crosswise into 1/2 rings, dropping slices

into water acidulated with lemon juice as they are sliced.

Sift flour with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Beat egg yolk with milk. Add

egg mixture to dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Beat egg white until

stiff peaks form. Fold egg white into batter.

Drain apple rings and pat dry on tea towel. Heat oil or shortening to 375

degrees. Dip apple rings in batter, coating both sides. Drop rings onto hot

oil, five or six at a time (one layer, not overcrowded). Fry until golden

brown, turning once, about five minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
