GRANDMA’S APPLE FRITTERS
Is there anyone who doesn’t love eating a crisp, warm Apple Fritter? My Grandma South made these delicious little puffy doughnuts, and they would only last a matter of minutes. They are so simple to make, and even easier to eat! Place fritters on a nice serving plate, and drizzle with spiced syrup. You can also dip fritters in a thin confectioner’s sugar glaze, or sprinkle confectioners sugar over them. Serve warm.
