Apple Fritters

Mrs. Ezra Yoder shared this Apple Fritters recipe. She mentioned that this is one of the first recipes she reaches for when the apples begin to ripen. Apple fritters have long been a favorite in her kitchen, partly because they come together quickly and partly because they remind her of the treats her mother made when she was young. She still remembers standing on a chair to watch the batter drop into the fryer and waiting for the first fritter to cool enough to taste. She wrote the recipe down for us as she keeps it in her own notebook, with familiar ingredients that make it easy to prepare for a family or a gathering. Mrs. Yoder says these fritters are often served when relatives stop by or when the children ask for something special. The sprinkle of sugar at the end is her favorite part, since it adds a gentle sweetness that pairs well with the apples inside. Recipes like this travel through the community each year, passed from home to home as the fruit harvest begins, and Mrs. Yoder is glad to share one of her favorites.
