Bite Size Apple Fritters

I got a bloglift! How do you like it?

The other day I was browsing Pinterest, when I came across these mini apple fritters. These have always been my favorite. Every time we go to the donut store I beg the owners to let me be an apprentice for a day. I am denied every time! Pffffh. I now have an awesome recipe that I can make in the comfort of my own home, and can make a dozen for the price of one!

Homemade Apple Fritters Recipe

1. In a medium sized bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together and form a well. In separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Pour wet ingredients into the dry well, and mix. Ideally, the mixture should resemble the consistency of a light cake mix.  Gently fold in the apple pieces.
2. Heat your oil to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. To test the oil without a thermometer, drop a tiny piece of the batter into the oil. If it floats, the oil should be ready. But keep in mind that the fritters come out better when using a thermometer.
3. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop batter into the oil. Do not crowd the pan. Watch the balls carefully and gently turn when the underside turns golden brown. I cooked mine for about 1 minute on each side (with an electric stove).
4. Cool on a paper towel an dip into sugar glaze. Enjoy immediately!
