Made these apple fritters and they are very yummy. Gave some to neighbors and family and they loved 'em. You skipped one step from ATK, which is to place the diced apples on a towel or paper towels and blot off any moisture coming out of the apples before placing them in the dry ingredients. Thanks for posting the recipe :)
