Peel & core apples. Slice into 1/4 inch rings. Place into bowl of water with 1 TBS of lemon juice.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt. Mix in milk and syrup.
Heat oil in a large pot or wok to 350 degrees on medium/medium high heat. Drop a little batter in. If it sizzles it's ready to go.
Take each apple slice and dip into batter to coat fully. Carefully place into heated oil. I can usually get 4 in at a time. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel covered plate to absorb excess oil.
In a shallow bowl mix 1/2 cup sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Place in apple fritters in while still warm and cover with cinnamon sugar mixture.
