Steps:
- Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with sausage and bacon!

MOM'S APPLE FRITTERS
My mom made these for us after school in the fall with the apples we'd pick and buy from a fruit farm. Warm, crisp, and sweet, a perfect fall treat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375*F In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until incorporated. Add cinnamon and nutmeg, mix well. Add diced apples and stir to coat. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes or until apples are soft and to the desired texture. I recommend tasting one to see if it's soft enough. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water. Mix well then add cornstarch mixture to apples and stir. Remove from heat and set aside. In a 9x13 casserole dish, lay out croissant pieces, spreading out so they cover the bottom of the pan. Top croissants with apple mixture. Spreading evenly over croissants. In a separate bowl combine heavy cream, apple butter (or apple sauce), eggs and cinnamon. Mix well. Pour apple butter mixture over croissants and apples. Drizzle over the top to cover apples. Bake for 25 minutes. When casserole is removed from oven, allow to sit for 5 minutes. While casserole is cooking, in a small bowl combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time. Add more heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon at a time if needed. Mixture should be thick but should drip from spoon when held in air. Drizzle casserole with icing and serve immediately.

BAKED APPLE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
The biggest challenge you will have with this recipe is that there is usually never enough. It makes an 11x7-inch pan, and is easily devoured by me and my wife and son. Quick, easy, and oh-so delicious. Top with maple syrup and powdered sugar to your liking.

Tips:
- For a sweeter casserole, use Granny Smith apples. For a tarter casserole, use Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples.
- If you don't have apple pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Be sure to use cold butter when making the streusel topping. This will help to create a flaky texture.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought muffin mix for the base of the casserole.
- This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Just bake it in the morning before serving.
