Spiced Apple Fritters

Ok seriously, once in a while you just have to indulge in some deep fried fare - It’s good for the soul! I never really ate fried foods when I was growing up and I seldom eat fried foods now, probably less than a handful of times a year. So what I’m trying to say is, eating fried food a few times a year is ok!

I’ve never actually eaten an apple fritter before so I thought I’d give it a shot, and the result is oh so tasty. When eaten fresh and hot, these are crispy on the outside and filled with creamy, apple-y goodness on the inside. Once they cool to room temperature the texture becomes more like donut holes, fluffy and cake like, delicious. The spice in here isn’t overwhelming, it's more of a hint and, as all my desserts, these aren’t overly sweet.

From what I understand, most people eat fritters with powdered sugar. Since we don’t eat refined sugar, we ate half of them plain which was very delicious, and ate the other half with a vanilla cashew dipping sauce which was equally as delicious! You may serve them as you like :)
