Fried Peaches with Whipped Honey Dip

Being Southern I've learned that you can deep fry almost anything. This actually still manages to taste good though.

Deep Fried Peaches (or Apples)

1 C. flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 C. milk
1 egg
5 or 6 apples/peaches

Mix and sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk and well-beaten egg. Mix well. For apples . . . pare, core and quarter. For peaches . . . cut peaches in half and then in quarters (removing stone). Dip each piece of apple/peach in the batter and fry in deep hot fat (365°F) until brown. Drain on unglazed paper (presuming paper towel) and sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.

Whipped Honey Dip

2 T honey
1 T orange juice
1-2 t lemon juice
3/4 c heavy cream
1/4 t cinnamon

Beat together honey, orange and lemon juice. Whip the cream until slightly thick and add cinnamon. Fold in the honey mixture. Serve with fruit as a dip.
