   1      cup           sifted all-purpose flour
   2      tablespoons   sugar
   2      teaspoons     baking powder
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
   1                    beaten egg
     2/3  cup           milk
   2      tablespoons   butter -- melted

                        salad oil

Preparation:

Sift together dry ingredients. Combine egg, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients until smooth; do not over beat. Slice apples crosswise into rings; dip fruit into batter one slice at a time. (Add more milk or flour, if needed, so batter coats.) In electric skillet, heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees F. Fry fritters in oil for 3 minutes, or until brown; turn once. Drain. Serve hot. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Makes
