Apple Fritters

By á-47820

Apple fritters always bring back memories of sitting at the old kitchen table with my Momma - an apple fritter with a nice cup of coffee... these were her favorite. I add a touch of cinnamon to the powdered sugar for dusting just to make it taste like those we used to get at the donut shop. (note that the picture attached is one from the internet apparently with a glaze on top instead of the powdered sugar as per the recipe)

Ingredients

• 1 C flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg ( beaten)
• 1/3 C milk
• 1 C apple ( diced)
• 1 C cooking oil
• confectioners sugar (for dusting) with 1tsp cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Measure and sift all dry ingredients.
Beat eggs and milk together; slowly incorporating the dry ingredients.
Add the chopped apples.
In a heavy skillet on the stove top, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Drop teaspoon full of apple-batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown in color- 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Remove from oil and drain on brown paper.
Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar (or powdered sugar/cinnamon blend)
