Apple Fritters

Description
This is a typical New Year's Eve treat. Usually there will be a bowl of both Oliebollen and Appelbeignets on the table.

Ingredients

 * 1 kg hard apples
 * 3 tbs. sugar
 * cinnamon
 * 200gr plain flour
 * 1/4 liter milk
 * 2 eggs
 * 2 teasp. baking powder

Directions
Core the apples and peel them. Cut into slices and leave them overnight in the mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

Beat the eggs with the milk and add flour and baking powder. The batter shouldn't be too thin, it should stick to the apple slices.

Dip the apple slices in the batter, let the excess drip off and fry in hot oil at 180C until golden brown.
