Adapted from sugarhero.com, these fritters are a time-consuming task for even the most dedicated cooks, but the apple-filled treats are worth the effort (and calorie count!). Using a spiced cider reduction amps up apple flavor to the max. Sweet-tart apples with medium starch, like a Mutsu or Winesap, are a good choice for the apple filling. For frying, be sure to have an accurate deep frying/candy thermometer on hand for best results.
