Apple fritters

• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. In a separate, large bowl combine eggs, milk and oil; stir in flour mixture and apples all at once mixing just until combined.
• Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large saucepan or cast iron skillet to 365 degrees F. Drop tablespoons of batter carefully into the oil frying until puffy and golden, turning once, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and/or dunk in glaze.

Glaze:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat combine milk and vanilla; heat until warm. Whisk the confectioners’ sugar slowly into the milk and continue whisking until well combined.
• Remove glaze from the heat and set over a bowl of warm water. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and set on a wire rack or right into your mouth!
• To bake: (they're best fried!)
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan. Drop a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup. Bake until browned about 8 - 10 minutes, a toothpick in the middle should come out clean.
