unglazed apple fritter bites

Here is another recipe I pinned, tried it, and liked it. I found this recipe at SeeminglyGreek.com, click here for their apple fritter recipe.

Ingredients:

1 heaping cup AP flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
dash salt
1 – 2 tsp. cinnamon (depending on how much you love cinnamon)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 T. butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 cup milk + plus more if needed
1 – 1 1/2 cups chopped apple, your favorite kind for eating, peanut sized or smaller
oil for frying

Glaze:
milk and powdered sugar glaze for dipping OR just powdered sugar for dusting
(About 1 cup pwd. sugar + 1 T. milk or more) 

Directions: 
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Add all the wet ingredients except the apple, mix until well combined (the batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix.)

Gently fold in apple pieces. 

Heat oil to 365° F. Test drop of dough - it should float to the top of the oil, OR a drop of water will start to sizzle, OR a piece of white bread will brown in 60 seconds.

Using a cookie scooper or soup spoon, place a 4-5 balls of dough into the oil. DO NOT overcrowd.
When underside to turn golden brown (about 30-45 seconds), gently flip over and continue frying until done. (It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting.)

Makes 24-36 using cookie scoop.
