Ingredients
Method
Peel, core and slice apples, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar and the strained lemon juice over them.
Sift flour, baking powder, remaining sugar, and salt into a bowl.
Add milk to the well-beaten egg and stir the liquid gradually into the dry ingredients, beating thoroughly, then stir in the melted Crisco.
Dip apple slices into the batter to coat them and drop them into plenty of hot Crisco (heated so a breadcrumb browns in 60 seconds).
Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, drain, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
