1 beaten egg
1 c. milk
1 c. finely chopped peeled and cored apple (1 medium)

1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated orange peel
3 tbsp. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder

In mixing bowl, combine beaten egg, milk, chopped apple, sugar, salt, grated orange peel, orange juice, and vanilla. Stir together flour and baking powder. Fold into egg mixture, stirring just until all flour is moistened.

Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls into deep hot fat (350 degrees). Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sift confectioners' sugar on tops or serve with maple syrup.
