Apple fritters - by request

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
4 large apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until smooth. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep fryer or heavy bottomed deep pot or skillet. Slice apples into 1/2 inch rings. Dip apple slices in batter and fry, a few at a time, turning once, until golden. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar.

(DISCLAIMERS: I just put a couple inches of oil in my frying pan or wok, put it on medium high heat, and have at it, flipping the fritters when they are brown. I have never used the nutmeg called for in the recipe, but I think next time I will try adding some cinnamon to give it some kick. Finally, we make half this recipe, and even then it's a ton for our family of 4. The fritters get soggy if they sit around for a while so don't think you'll make a ton and stockpile them - they really are best eaten hot and fresh.)
