Today's recipe is for homemade apple fritters. While they are usually deep-fried in a pot of oil, these recipe will have them get made in a nonstick pan and then served with real maple syrup.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups apples (roughly 2 1/2 small apples)
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbs vegetable oil

Procedure:
Get the dry ingredients together first by combining the all-purpose flour, baking powder, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and salt.

Peel and core the apples and cut them into 1/4-inch dice and, as soon as there are 1 1/2 cups of diced apples, immediately add them to the flour and toss to coat.

At this point, get the wet ingredients together by combining the eggs, milk and vanilla, whisk it together and then add it to the dry ingredients and fold everything together until it is just combined.

Turn the oven onto a warm setting and keep the cooked fritters warm.

Add 2 Tbs vegetable oil to a nonstick pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon measure to scoop 5-6 fritters into the pan at a time.

Stay with them and let them go for a couple of minutes on the first side, then carefully flip them over and finish cooking them through on the second side.

Serve them up while they're still nice and warm in individual bowls with real maple syrup over the top.
