Apple Fritters

Serves 24.

1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup cinnamon sugar and/or powdered sugar

1.  Heat the oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 375 degrees.
2.  In a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Pour in the milk, eggs and oil and stir until well blended.  Mix in apples until they are evenly distributed.
3.  Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes depending on the size.  Fry in smaller batches so they are not crowded.  Remove from the hot oil using a slotten spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.  Toss with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
