Apple Fritters

So I know this picture is a really cruddy picture, but this is what happens when you go to visit/take care of your mom and she has no camera and you forgot your own! So I had to rely on my camera phone (which is barely standing on it's last leg at this point.) The picture might be cruddy, but these apple fritters definitely were not. They are moist, super sweet and sinfully delicious! I'm glad they are now left at my mom's house so there will be no temptation around this house. I don't know if I could actually withstand that temptation.

Fritter:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped apple

Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

 Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.  Stir in milk and egg until just combined and moistened.  Fold in the chopped apple.  Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep.  Heat oil on high.  Oil is ready when dough floats to top.  Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons.  Don't put too many in the pan at once or it brings down the oil temperature considerably. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip.  Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned.  Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack.  Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl.  Drizzle over apple fritters.  Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side.  Best served warm.
