Fritters of Four Nations

These were supposed to have been originated by a French cook to commemorate a peace treaty several centuries ago. Peel and slice two large fine apples, remove the core, and cover them with 1 ounce of sugar and a tablespoonful of brandy for 1/2 hour. Drain them, dip each piece in jam, peach, or apricot, then in frying batter, and fry them in boiling fat. Glaze with sugar and serve at once with a good sauce.
