2 Green apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2½ tablespoon Apricot preserves

Directions

CUSTARD SAUCE

FRITTERS

1. Prepare Custard Sauce: In 2-quart saucepan, heat half-and-half and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over medium heat until bubbles form around edge ot pan. In small bowl, with wire whisk, beat remaining 2 T granulated sugar and egg yolks. Gradually beat half-and-half mixture into yolk mixture. Pour all back into saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture coats a spoon. (Do not boil.) Stir in Grand Marnier; strain Custard Sauce into small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Prepare Fritters: In medium-size bowl, stir together apples, preserves, and lime juice. Cut egg-roll wrappers di agonally into quarters to create 24 triangles. Place 1 T apple filling in center of each triangle; brush edges of triangles with water and bring 3 points of each triangle together, pinching edges to enclose filling.

3. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil until deep-fat thermometer registers 350'F. Fry fritters, in batches, turning once, until golden brown-about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove fritters with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. To serve, pour Custard Sauce onto each of 6 dessert plates.

Arrange 4 fritters on each. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and garnish with raspberries and mint, if desired.
