I saw this recipe over at Kelli's blog and I just knew that it would be a hit with the kids. Apple fritters, yummy.....I'm not much into frying though I have to say, there go months where I don't fry anything at all so this is a treat in more ways than one.

Let me know if you try them and enjoy them :)
