1 tbsplemon juice
1tbspsugar
1tspbaking powder
6tbspall-purpose flour
1/4tspcinnamon
2large eggs

Instructions
Grate the apples, either on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor, on the shredding blade.
Transfer to a clean dishtowel or cheesecloth sling and wring out as much juice as you can into a small bowl. Save juice
Transfer grated apple to a medium bowl and toss with lemon juice.
In a small dish, whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder and toss with the apples, coating them evenly.
Whisk eggs in this small dish until lightly beaten and stir into apple-lemon-flour mixture.
Heat a large skillet to medium with one tablespoon butter. Once it has coated the pan, drop tablespoons full of apple batter in little piles, gently pressing them a bit flatter with a spatula.
Fry until they are nicely brown underneath, about 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until they are browned and crisp. Drain briefly on paper towels.
