Apple Fritters recipe:
I modified it slightly to make a smaller batch. The original recipe was using pounds as measurements.
Pare some raw apples (I like the skins on, so I left them on) and cut into thin slices (I cubed them). Put apples in a bowl.
Add a glass of brandy and some wine (or no alcohol) to the bowl the apples are in. Soak apples in alcohol for “some time” then drain them and place in empty bowl.
Then to the apples add:
1 cup to a cup and a half of sugar.
One grated Lemon rind (I added the juice for a tarter flavor)
A little cinnamon (use your heart to measure it)
Add two beaten eggs.
Add a half cup of butter.
Add two cups of flour.
Add enough water to make the batter thin and mix.
Fry till golden brown, remove from oil and dust with sugar.
