More on enjoying apple season!

No time to make a pie and the apples are there and waiting for attention? This is a good way to use up apples and provide an inexpensive treat from your own kitchen. Apple Fritters 1 cup all purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup milk 1 egg 1 cup chopped apple 1/2 cup powdered sugar Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add in the milk and egg, beating until you have a smooth batter. Gently fold in the chopped apple. Drop by small spoonfuls into deep hot oil nd fry for about 2-3 minutes. They should be golden brown. Drain on paper towels and roll in the powdered sugar while warm. Serve hot or warm although a few leftover ones the next day aren't too bad. Ideas . . .Instead of the powdered sugar, try a cinnamon/sugar mixture. Soak and drain the chopped apples in a bit of brandy before folding into the batter. Try chopped pears for a different taste.
