Apple Doughnuts

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla port
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
6 tart dessert apples
2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Pour flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Into it, put the egg yolks, vanilla port and salt. Gradually mix, incorporating the flour, then add enough milk to make a supple, smooth batter which is fairly thick. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Peel the apples, remove core and slice them crosswise, about 1/4 thick, and put them into the batter.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet and deep-fry the apple "doughnuts" until tender. When cooked, drain and sprinkle with sugar.
