I love apple fritters. They remind me of my childhood. My dad bringing them home in the brown paper bag...still warm, with a hint of greasiness showing through the bag from just being fried and glazed. Mmmmm. Gotta give this recipe a try on a cold fall or winter day Courtesy of www.southernplate.com.
