Finished Apple Ring Fritters<\/p><\/div>\n

There was an excess apple crop in the Pacific Northwest this year, so the grocery store had a lot of variety of apples to choose from.\u00a0 And they were\u00a0selling them at excellent prices.\u00a0 I took advantage of the good deals and new varieties we tried to some new things with apples.<\/p>\n

The following recipe for Apple Fritter Rings tastes the best freshly cooked, if you want the crispiest coating on it.\u00a0 I found that the apples took on a bit of a different flavor when left in the refrigerator overnight.\u00a0 I actually liked the flavor better the next day, even though the outside lost it’s\u00a0crisp texture\u00a0overnight.<\/p>\n

copyright date, so I’m not sure exactly how old this book is and have not yet been able to track down one in a different format to check the date.\u00a0 Based on the way the book was written – words used, measurements of ingredients, and type of ingredients, I figure that this book was written in the early 20th century – perhaps between 1900 and 1920.\u00a0 But no matter when the book was written, each recipe that I’ve tried from it has been great, and these Apple Ring Fritters made a nice dessert.\u00a0 They would also be good for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
