Notes

Dice the apples small so they cook well . I used honey crisp or Gala 

If you make your fritters bigger they will take a little longer to cook

Do not get your oil to hot or you will have an under done fritter on the inside 

These are best eaten fresh but if you have leftover I recommend heating them in the microwave or even the sire fryer .
