Have you ever made an old fashioned apple fritter?

1927 Apple Fritters

In the video, I am going by the 1927 recipe which doesn't cook the apples or use cinnamon.  I wanted to make these like they did in the 1920's so that is how I mixed them up and fried them for the video tutorial.  ​

This is an old recipe, so it isn't going to be like the ones you buy in stores today!  This recipe uses flour without yeast so it isn't a yeast bread, it is more like a cake or biscuit dough.
I did decide to write this recipe with cinnamon as an option.  I would probably also cook my apples a little before frying these if I make them again.   I tell you how to do this in the recipe you see here.  
Thanks so much for watching this video and for watching Collard Valley Cooks! Please share our information with your friends and family.
