Method

In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and melted butter. Sift in the dry ingredients and blend. Set aside.

Prepare the apples and toss with the lemon juice.

Heat the oil in a deep skillet over high heat until the temperature registers 350 degrees F. on a frying thermometer. Oil should be hot, but not smoking and should bubble immediately when the apples are dropped in it.
