apple friiter bite+1+3 Apple Fritters

Ingredients:
1 heaping c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
Dash salt
1-2 tsp. cinnamon (to taste)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 c. milk plus more if needed
1- 1 1/2 c. chopped apple (your favorite kind for snacking)- cut into peanut size pieces or smaller
Oil for frying
Milk and powdered sugar glaze for dipping (1 c. powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp. milk or more) or just powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:
Mix all dry ingredients together, slowly add the wet ingredients minue the apple.  Carefully mix until well combined but not overly beat, gently fold in apple pieces.  The batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix. 

Heat oil for frying to 365 degrees.  Once the oil is ready (when a test drop of dough floats on the top of the oil, a drop of water sizzles or a piece of white bread browns in 60 seconds) then using a cookie scooper or soup spoon, place 4-5 balls of dough into the oil.  Be careful not to overcrowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn golden brown, then gently flip over and continue frying until done (about 35 seconds per side).

Toss lightly with powdered sugar or dip in powdered sugar glaze.
