Oven????
I used to make apple fritters at least once a year. It was a bit of a
tradition. Peel, core and slice apples, dip them into batter and deep
fry. Eat them warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and some maple syrup.

They used to sell them at Pioneer Days every October in a local village.
One of the local church ladies organization would be selling them and
they were delicious. You usually had to wait 5 minutes or so and would
get a batch fresh out of the fryer.... and they were fried in a pot of
oil over a fire.

A few years ago we were at a similar type of even in another town and I
spotted the apple fritter site. There was long line. I waited 45 minute
to get them and I was really looking forward to them. Good fritters are
worth waiting that long for. I bought an order for each of us instead of
splitting one order. Major mistake... major letdown. They were horrible
There were not batter dipped rings. They were balls of a very dense
dough with little bits of apple. They were like rubber balls, in taste
and texture.
