6 Golden Delicious apples
1/3 C. sugar
1/3 C. brandy
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 3/4 C. flour
2 egg yolks
3/4 C. milk
2/3 C. beer
2 T. butter, melted
4 egg yolks
1/3 C. sugar
1 1/2 C. milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Vegetable oil (for frying)
2 egg whites (at room temperature)
Confectioners' sugar
Pare and core apples. Cut into 1/4-inch rings. Place in large bowl. Toss with 1/3 cup sugar, brandy, and cinnamon. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, tossing occasionally. For the fritter batter, in a bowl combine flour, 2 yolks, 3/4 cup milk, beer and butter. Let stand one hour at room temperature.
To prepare custard sauce, in a medium saucepan combine yolks and 1/3 cup sugar. Stir in 1 1/2 cups milk. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until custard coats the back of a metal spoon. Stir in vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature. In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375ºF.<br>
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; fold in fritter batter. Drain liquid from apples. Dip apple slices, one at a time, into batter with fork or tongs, letting excess drip back into bowl. Fry fritters until brown on one side; turn and brown other side. Drain on paper towels. Arrange on plate; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve with warm custard sauce.
