Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and core the apples, then chop into small cubes. Optionally, toss with lemon juice.
- Make the Batter: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices in one bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, then combine with the dry ingredients and fold in the apples.

Notes
Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before frying for a more tender fritter.
