Spiced Apple Fritters With Hot Honey

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a mixing bowl.

2. Step 2

   Add milk and eggs, and whisk well to make a thick batter. Mix apples into batter. Thin with a little more milk if necessary; the batter should be about the consistency of pancake batter.

3. Step 3

   Put about 2 inches of oil in a cast-iron pan or Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees.

4. Step 4

   Using a soup spoon, gently drop small blobs (about ⅓ cup) of batter into the hot oil without crowding. Let fritters cook until puffed and golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a cooling rack set over paper towels or a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat until all batter is used.

5. Step 5

   While still warm, dust with powdered sugar, roll in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with hot honey. Serve at room temperature.
