Only one word comes to mind for these! WOW! Oh, so yummy!The only change we made was to use a non-dairy creamer instead of the dry milk powder. It's a lactose intolorence thing.

I Love that this recipe does not have cinnamon! Rarely do you find apple anything without cinnamon, being allergic to it makes it difficult this time of year! I will definitely be making these this weekend!

My grandpa gave me some early transparent apples and I was dying to use them. I was searching TOH for a recipe and came across these fritters. I didn't want to fry these so I baked the dough using my donut pan and they turned out wonderful !! I also used half whole wheat pastry flour and added a tsp of cinnamon as well. Plus I didn't peel the apples since the skins have all the fiber and nutrition!

So yummy! I used half & half instead of milk, reduced the water to half a cup and added a teaspoon of cinnamon. They cooked up nice and fluffy! So happy I found this. Thanks for sharing:)
