To make the apple fritters:
In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Gradually stir in milk and well-beaten egg.
Add finely chopped apples. Mix ingredients together into a batter.
In a skillet or fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil at about 375°. Drop batter from spoon ("about the size of a walnut") into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, remove from skillet, and place on paper towel to soak up excess oil. Serve warm with lemon sauce.
