Mom's Apple Fritters

Mom's Apple Fritters

If you would like Alice Gurkin’s recipe for her Apple Fritters here it is:

• Peel, core and slice 6 large apples.
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ tsp. apple pie spice
• ½ tsp. allspice
• ½ tsp. cinnamon (if desired, and I generally do)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup corn starch mixed with ½ cup water. (Be sure to mix well)

Mix the first 7 ingredients in a large skillet and cook slowly (low to medium heat) When the apples appear to be about done mix in the corn starch/water mixture and cook until thickened. If the mix is too soupy add a bit more water. If too thin add a bit more corn starch. This mix works well for a scratch made apple pie. Personally, we make this recipe substituting Splenda and artificial brown sugar to create a sugar free treat.
