1 beaten egg
1 c. milk
1 c. finely chopped or grated unpeeled cored apple
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated orange peel
3 tbsp. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
Vegetable oil for frying
Sifted confectioners' sugar

Mix beaten egg, milk, grated apple, sugar, salt, orange peel, juice and vanilla. Stir together flour and baking powder; fold into egg mixture, stirring just until all flour is moistened. Drop batter by teaspoons into hot oil (350 degrees). Fry until deep brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning once.

Drain fritters on paper towels. Sift sugar over tops or put sugar in bag and add fritters and shake to cover with sugar. Makes about 40 fritters.
