I like them with apple rings. We used to get them at local Pioneer Days
festival. I would gladly line up and wait for those things. I went to
another local festival and waited in line only to be disappointed by
globs of fried batter with apple chunks. Somewhere along the line we
bought a deep fryer and once a year, during apple harvest time, I would
make a batch of apple fritters, apple slices cooked in crispy rings of
batter. Even better than icing sugar is cinnamon sugar, and maybe some
maple syrup on the side.
