Apple Fritters Fun

A wonderful treat for kids and adults. This recipe takes me back to falls spent apple picking. It seems someone was always making apple fritters and the smell of apple and cinnamon would waft through the air. These can be rolled in powdered sugar or granulated sugar.. try mixing some cinnamon in with the sugar for extra delight.
