Total Time: 14 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 9 mins

Ingredients

• 1 jar of motts applesauce
• 5 cups swan's down cake flour
• 1/4 cup unbleached cane sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups corn oil
• 1 cup powdered sugar (optional)
• raspberry preserves, as a garnish or dipping sauce

Recipe

• 1 pour the oil into a deep-fryer and preheat. an electric skillet works also, but they might not be as crisp.
• 2 in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, and set aside.
• 3 in another bowl, sift together the flour and sugar, then combine with the eggs and apple sauce. with an electric mixer, mix on a low speed till everything is well incorporated into a reasonably thick batter. the batter should be refrigerated for at least an hour before frying.
• 4 in a deep fryer, on a medium to high heat, drop the batter by the spoonful into the basket, and lower it into the oil. they burn quickly, and should only be deep fried for a couple of minutes or till golden brown. in an electric skillet on medium, the fritters cook for about 4 minutes on each side. once they're golden, drain on paper towels and when cool, they may be rolled in powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves.
