Been watching for 2 yrs from Northern Indiana. I am 70 & 1of 11 kids, my mother never did make fritters. We had the orchard full of apples. God knows we helped make everything else though.. We would make 4 big rounds of bread every Sat morning, traded it to the milkman when he came around for his 4 gallons of milk. On Sat we also had a standing order for a bakers dozen of glazed square yeast donuts to sell to the old farmer down the road. Those were wonderful times in my life, just being in the kitchen with my mom. You have brought back so many memories, I thank you for that. God Bless You and keep God in your hearts.
I feel happy for anyone who lives or has lived closer to the life our Creator intended. Rarities now, in these times of great trouble, suffering, utterly broken lives, and the loss of love ones.
If you pause this video at: 2:06 you can see the recipe in the book. Saves you from having to write it down. Thank you so much for your video! We are making these this morning!
Yes thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just getting ready to watch it again and write it down. Now if I could just figure out how to enlarge it and do a screen shot I'd be a happy camper 😂 😊
First time watching, love fritters and old school cook books so this was right up my alley. My husband of 43 years will love these, we enjoyed seeing the close relationship you and your hubby have! Thanks for what you do, we are fans from now on! Watching from Portland, Oregon
My mom used to make these from that cookbook back in the 1960s We did corn, apples but you can use sausage crumbled and cooked beacon not just what the cook book says oh how about mushrooms chillies peppers cheese. Its fun and very good.
We got a lemon tree one time from some promotion from Pledge furniture polish. My mom gave it to my grandma because she was the gardener in the family. She kept it until it outgrew her ceiling, then gave it to her neighbor who had higher ceilings. It grew and started to produce lemons. Just one of those lemons was enough to make a whole lemon pie! They were huge!
Yep! Move em in and outside. Just visited George Washington’s home. They have em in big terracotta pots and rotate them in and out depending on the season.
I planted some lemon seeds from a lemon just for fun and now I have 2 trees growing in a pot don't think they can take the cold temperature in NJ but it was interesting how it grew smells good too and have to watch out for the spikes on it ouch!
@@lovescoffee9780 Well considering that this was in MN where winters get well below zero, there really wasn’t any other option once it got too big to be moving easily.
I worked in a supermarket bakery in collage. Their fritters are made from a yeast dough vs. a batter. They did happen to use apples mixed with cinnamon which is what gave the dough a darker color. They were also fried.
When you put the dough into the oil use two spoons. One to scoop and the other to scrape and press the dough flat in the center. Do this one at a time and dont over load your pan, they will cook more evenly and be crispy and dark. Love making apple fritters. Quick and easy.
That is a great tip! Thank you! I enjoy watching cooking videos on YT and learning new recipes but I find that I learn all of the good tips and tricks in the comment section. Much appreciated!
If you have enough oil leave them round from the two tablespoons because they will turn themselves over when the first side is done. The bottom in the oil when it cooks gets lighter than the uncooked batter on top, when it's done and nice and airy the fritters will turn themselves over to cook on the other side. When they are completely done they just spin in the oil. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a bowl of fine sugar and cinnamon roll to coat the outside. For corn fritters serve with a bit of warm maple syrup for a delicious way to start your day.
This apple fritter recipe is the same one found in the "Boston Cooking School Book" by Fannie Merritt Farmer (copyright, 1918). These old cookbooks are such treasures. Thank you for preparing this recipe and now you got me hungry for apple fritters.
I own the Fanny Farmer Cookbook you mention it comes under the title Fruit Fritters. My mom gave it to me when I was married. Your right it slices apples in a circle.
Here in Maine I prefer Cortland apples with a few wild apples mixed in when they're good. However, this early in apple season I had to settle for McIntosh locally grown. Some years the wild apples are good and other years not. I added a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to the recipe. Absolutely delicious. Thanks very much for the video
You were talking about getting the juice out of the lemons your neighbor gave you, and you probably already know this, but maybe not everyone does: I found out that no matter what type of citrus you want to juice, if you microwave your lemon (for example) for a few seconds (about 5-10 seconds depending on their size), then roll them on the table/counter while lightly but firmly pressing down, you will get almost twice as much juice from the citrus than you would if you just juice it without doing these fast, easy steps before slicing them open. Thank you for being here.
And also, this is a trick I seriously just learned, even though I love love lemons, “I put that s*t on everything” lol and have been mooching them off anyone who has a lemon tree for at least 30 years. Which apparently isn’t a hardship lol they resort to putting bags on the corner with “free” on them. . To store them, put them in water. Seriously. Cover them with water, and store them in the fridge. They last a LONG time that way. Just change the water once and a while. I put mine in a big mason jar. Edit. Wash them off first. Especially if they are from a neighbor or some such, because backyard lemons are much dirtier than store lemons. But wash those, too.👌
Hi Im from Michigan. Been watching you almost 2 years. Im 67yrs old and i like to find and try old recieps. I enjoy watchin you. No fakery here. Just down home goodness. Thanks.
I’m retired 73 year old living in Mayaguez PUERTO RICO, I like cooking from scratch and enjoy southern cuisine. Yours is one of my favorites. I was born in this island but grew up in NY. Worked with many southern folk, they introduced me to good cooking, grits, chitterlings, yams and all
Before you squeeze those gorgeous lemons, peel the zest from them (just the yellow) and freeze all of it. For the best lemon flavor finely chop some and add to whatever. Can't wait to make these apple fritters.
2 years, Atlanta, GA. Born in Pensacola FL. You’re so amazing!!! Thank you!! I’ve make your chicken and dumplings 50 times. Love your biscuits and salmon patties and everything.
Hi Bridgette , well now you know cooking is fun , heres one to try , It;s a chesse on toast with a twist a little butter then , Banarna first with cheese , then lightly sprinkial with Carrie? ? grill it till chess is brown and cut to size, P.S use the Bread you like most as thats important too, enjoy
That recipe book is an absolute treasure so you can take it to the bank every recipe coming our of it is magnificent. This Apple Fritter recipe reminded me of what my Miami used to make. I'm 54 and my Miami never had a recipe book or measuring tools..she never needed them because everything she baked or cooked was from the heart or passed down from generations. I remember me and my cousin putting her in the kitchen with all of the measuring tools so we could try to measure everything and write down her recipes. Unlike my cousin I was able to stay with my grandparents every summer to work in their vegetable garden when the harvest came in....my grandmother taught me how to cook with live and from the heart...the best meals I make are the ones where I don't need my measuring tools. This video is so special because it reminds me of my time spent with my wonderful Mimi.
Hope everybody’s doing good ever since Ian hit the state Never been through a hurricane but a tropical storm when Isaias storm right on through South Jersey 2 years ago It was my first one though
That ole cookbook is gold. They hold receipes like this one. Those fritters look so tasty, like a fried pie. I have an ole fair book I use for pie crust. Thank you for making this. Bye
Looks good. I almost always modify recipes. I like to take 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoons Cloves mixed together . Put about a fourth of this and add to some cornstarch in a separate container, mixing well. Then shake the apples in this mixture. The rest of the spices go in the batter. Then add the apples and proceed. This give them a bit of apple pie type flavor. You can also use apple juice if you have it for the liquid that you put into your glaze. This adds a bit more apple flavor.
I liked your idea but how do we give it butter flavor like the lady mentioned in the video for she’s right it would make a whole lot of difference. Any idea on that? I don’t like adding it to frying oil. Would it work to just dip them in melted butter before glazing or maybe add butter to glaze, yeah?
@@hana.the.writer5074 adding butter as you said would probably work. I don't use vegetable oil myself. The process needed to make that stuff is horrid. I do often cook with butter.
Me to 55 years ago. We (Australia) had the "commonsense cookbook" for home ec, a plain grey cover, no pictures but really sensible recipes probably from the same era as this one. Brings back memories.
Your apple fritters looks delicious! I’m from NC and first time watching! I do believe adding some vanilla and cinnamon into batter before frying would add a lot of flavor. Glad I found your channel. 😊
Hey Tammy. I have been watching you and your husband for years. I love a lot of the recipes that you make. I use to work a bakery. They took a small portion of the raw donut dough added some apple pie filling out of the can after they chopped the apples in it into smaller pieces. They added cinnamon to the apple pie filling. This helped give the apple filling a real good taste. They glazed them with powder sugar with a little bit of vanilla flavoring. They are delicious. The bakery is still going strong. Thank you for making such good food on your videos.
@@kysmik8214 The dough was thick enough to hold it. I would use a half of a can of pie filling. You still need to chop the apples in to small pieces first. Then add it to you dough. You can add as much cinnamon as you want according to your taste.
Did the same way, after cutting all the donuts , then using left over chopped it up added apples and cinnamon then made into (kind of like Hamburg shape) weight 3to4 ounces put on a frying screen then they have to be PROOFED then deep fried and glazed ( which came in buckets poured in a large glazing trough)
My dear, if I had to choose 100 recipe videos to stick in a time capsule for future generations, this would be one of them. Lovely video. Beautifully shot and you are a wonderful presenter. Oh, yeah...few things are more scrumptious than a hot apple fritter. Thanks for the video!
I feel like I"m back in the kitchen with my Grandma!! She had a nice relaxed way in the kitchen too. She made me brave, because she said there's no wrong if it tastes good. Love your show!!
When I fried the donuts for the grocery store bakery I work for, we put the cinnamon in the glaze. We also got the fritters frozen and fried them after they thawed. So I never got to make them from scratch like this. These look so good. And so easy to make. That's fantastic finding that book. We have to buy these books up before they are lost to history. This is the first time watching your channel. I'm from Ohio, but born in West Virginia. And just found your channel. 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone. 😁😊
@@allenelder4675 I stop by the thrift store every few weeks to check out the new books that have been donated. They also have my phone number and call me when they get a large donation of books. They still only charge 25¢ for each book. The same price for twenty five years. Isn't that something. 😁 You know, the internet is great. But it is not dependable. It might not be around forever. It really could go out any time. So we still need to hang onto our books. And it feels really wrong to throw away books. That is knowledge that should be shared. Not tossed in the trash. Know what I mean. You have a wonderful day Allen. 😁
I have a feeling we're going to have to go back to eating those parts of the cow we used to... You're channel is so great, thank you and your hubby for sharing your home with us ❤️
Love to see you using SaladMaster cookware! About 1952, my mom bought the entire set and I grew up knowing nothing but my grandmothers cast Iron skillets and the SaladMaster. Am 70 yrs old now and still using them. Best cookware ever made! Good luck to you and and yours. God Bless!!!
I thought your pan was Saladmaster. I have had a set of Saladmaster cookware since the 1970's and still use it. My husband and I both think food tastes better when cooked in Saladmaster and it is made in America. I will not buy any cookware or dishwaters made in China.
Yeah, I was wondering the same. But the original recipe is from 1927, so maybe cinnamon just wasn't as common back then or perhaps difficult to come by?
That seems like a team effort! - she does the cookin’ and he does the filmin’ and dotin’ …….they prove quite wholesome and I enjoyed the whole presentation
Lady, you just made my whole day. My 77 year old father-in-law has been begging me to learn to make these. ❤️ Also, that book is worth it's weight in gold!!!! ❤️ God bless Edit: I just found your channel and I'm from New Hampshire, USA ❤️🥰
I'm from Kentucky and have been watching you for about a year or more. With all the quarantines I got interested in cooking videos and trying new recipes. Thank you for all you do. 😊
Those apple fritters look delicious! They look closer to the ones I remember that were good, but I think any apple fritters I've had were made with a yeast dough. Most of the time the store bought ones can be kind of dense and often either wet or dry, and most of the time, you are hunting for the apples and coming up short. I think for anyone attempting this recipe, I'd suggest not rolling or shaping it, because the more the dough is handled, the greater likelihood that it will become tough. I think the freeform cooking gives the fritters a fun shape with pleasantly crunchy bits on the outside, and the contrasts of textures is part of the experience in enjoying the fritters. It might not be a bad idea to coat the apples with a dusting of a flour and cinnamon blend before stirring them into the batter or even adding a kiss of cinnamon to the glaze.
I grew up in New England apple country. My father was born in 1934, the youngest of five. My grandmother was certainly making apple fritters before 1927, probably an Americanization of Swedish apple breakfast dumplings. You're right about butter in the oil. The cinnamon too, but mixed in the apple with nutmeg as well. Never a glaze, but a dipping bowl of reduced apple cider. Your cramped cozy kitchen is a lot like hers, too. Fond memories. Thank you.
I've only recently discovered your site, but I love the integrity and classic nature of your recipes. Apple fritters! I've gone to Heaven! I live in Australia, and I love your accents, too! Keep it coming.
Hi I'm Anna from Charlotte NC. I have been watching for a few months myself. I am so pleased to see your joy in trying recipes from the past, so nice. I remember home economics in school. So you really bring me back to good old home cooking. Simple and filling and quite healthy for active southerners. Thank you for your love of cooking and your husband for support. 🙏☺️❤️
Hi Tammy! I'm watching this video on March 26,2023 from Davenport, Florida. I was born and raised in Central Florida in 1959. My family goes back 4 generations from me here and we were as country as country could be. Back then, before Dismal World came and wrecked my hometown, my Mama used to make some delicious home recipes. She had a copy of that cookbook! I look forward to making a batch of these for my husband. He loves apple fritters. Thank you for bringing back such fond memories of Mama 🥰 and the old recipes. May the Lord our God bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and grant you His perfect Shalom peace. 💖🙏🙌
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee and live now in Denver, Colorado where it’s almost impossible to have good Southern cooking! Thank God for you!!
I agree so much: all too many apple fritters are woefully lacking in APPLE! This ratio was spot-on. I personally am partial to Jonathan apples, tart/sweet, beloved by my great-grandmother . Autumn was never really autumn without her cooking with apples...
I am over 70, and 2nd of 9 kiddos. We also had foster brothers and sisters, and others who depended on our 'abilities.' We made about 20 loaves of bread each week. Cinnamon rolls, pies, cookies, cakes, etc, were common fare, along with numerous casseroles and stews. Growing up on our farm, if we didnt raise it, or grow it, we didnt eat. I have had some easier years in my subsequent years, but have returned to my roots, in the last 15 or so, and have my own farm, gardens, animals, etc. This brought back great memories of Mom, Grandmoms, Aunts, and others, hanging out in kitchens, and doing what women used to commonly do. Thank you!!
I made these and they are delicious. The only thing I did differently was dust the apples in cinnamon sugar before mixing in the dough. It's the way they're made at Tim Hortons in Canada. Coffee time!
@@lovecats6856 since Burger King bought it out it’s not the same they cheap out on everything. I’m in B.C. I’m pretty sure they don’t use Philadelphia cream cheese anymore, or Nutella brand hazelnut. I know they changed to a different coffee I can’t drink it, it’s too acidic. The dark roast is ok. And yeah the fritters went downhill too. I can’t wait to try these this weekend! 😃
When I was a little kid my big brother would make corn, & apple, & pear fritters not combined each was done all at 1 time making enough dough to make 1 dozen each type. He also used all spice. Or apple pie spice, or ginger. Just added a bit of extra flavor. Yummy.
In PA our homemade apple fritters always have cinnamon swirled through them surrounding the apples. We enjoy the heavy doughiness of them - nice heavy dough spots, juicy pockets of delicious cinnamon apple, and fried in lard. These look like a healthier version of our Dutch apple fritters. They look delicious though! I love that you used lots of apple! Yummmm…
My first time watching and you got me with your southern manners and hospitality!! I've been cooking since I was about 5 years old, hanging out and watching my grandmother's, my mother, my step mother and a couple aunts, so I've had a lot of great teachers over the years and have acquired a lot of great recipes and love to learn something new everyday!! I have 9 children and live in nome, Alaska. It's cheaper for me to make my children's goodies instead of buying them at the store. I look forward to watching more of your videos!!
I use honey crisp apples as well! This recipe is easy to make and it’s a keeper! I will have to wait until we have a cheat day to make these! I will add chopped apples to my salad today but I will be thinking about your apple fritters! 😭. Love you Ms Tammy!Thank You for sharing your recipes!😋♥️
Tried this recipe this sunday morning and have to tell you they were super and the husband loved them. Easy recipe and easy to prepare and fix. Can't wait to try on the grandkids. Thank you
One of the nicest parts of collecting vintage cookbooks is reading the sweet personal inscriptions. Cookbooks were popular wedding gifts and the sentiments can be very touching.
First time here. I'm from Sweden. Never had Apple fritters. We do make "äppelmunkar" they are similar to donuts. This recipe seems easy and fun, and the fritters do look delicious! I'll give it a try for a weekend dessert! Thanks for sharing 🤗🕊️
During the Fall season along with cooler temps, you don't seem to mind baking and frying more. The smell of apples, and cinnamon fills the house. It's a wonderful smell.🙂
I am 77. I watched my ethnic German grandmother make these when I was a little girl. She was an immigrant and could not read. I don’t know where she learned this but it was so similar to this recipe. Hers were so delicious. Such good memories. Thank you. 🙏☮️❤️
Thank you so much for always cutting into/breaking open, tasting, and showing your delicious food up close! (It always is a letdown when a cook finishes the dish but doesn’t show its texture inside or how it tastes!) Love your recipes, and love your personality!
I’m from Los Angeles CA and been watching your Chanel for about 2 months now. Loving it! My mom was from the south and I love country cooking, your recipes are amazing👍🏽
Tammy, it is SO good to see you chopping and cooking and working in your kitchen; looking healthy and back to your cheerful self again. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless you all.
My mom used to make apple fritters and sh used to put apple pie spice in the batter. She had her grandmothers church cook book it has been passed down to me. I use that cook book just about every week there’s an apple bread recipe in that book that I make every year for thanksgiving. I would send you the recipe as soon as get the book back from my daughter in law
Watching from Baltimore, MD, for the first time. I love this Apple Fritter recipe ... it's like my Granny (great-grandmother) used to make, in Altoona, PA. Your book is from 1927, and she was a young mother then. Yum! Thanks for the demo!
Really enjoyed your video. I used to eat apple fritters when I went to school in Bristol Virginia. I love southern food. I now live in Naples Fl. The ones I had , had cinnamon in them.. Can’t wait to try the recipe , but can’t find it, and I don’t have the book. Maybe you could help?
Stumbled across this video and used it as leverage for my kids to eat vegetables. We made these tonight but added clove, nutmeg, and raisins as well. You earned a subscribe from us in Columbia, SC!
I made these for my family on Christmas morning, they were drooling they were so GOOD and so easy for me !! They will be a cherished tradition for years to come !!!
Look yummy, I make them with the cinnamon mixed in the dough prior to frying ( can add raisins too) ! And if I don't glaze, I put the doughnuts while warm into a covered bowl and toss in a cinnamon/sugar mixture (1 cup granulated sugar : 1 tsp cinnamon)
I added almond flavoring instead vanilla. The 1st time I made them I added cinnamon to the batter. The 2nd time I added cinnamon to the icing. Either way they were delicious

Hello Red Bird. Your childhood sounds wonderful. God blessing to you also.
I would add cinnamon
I would love to have your mother's recipe for those donuts.
Man I wish my Grandmother was still around she was one to keep us kids in the kitchen and my Mother.

When I use granny smith apples, I coat the apple chunks with powdered sugar and cinnamon, before adding them to the batter. Delicious!
Yum!
Granny Smith apples are my favourite even just to eat alone.
I love granny smith apples also but give Pink lady apples a try! 🍎 🍏 😋

My husband adores apple fritters from grocery bakeries…he would really love the homemade version!
Mine does too, maybe I'll make these for him for Christmas.
They're going to really like the ones you make at home!
Phoenix AZ. Just found you this evening❣️. It was apple fritters. You make it look so easy & casual.
Make sure and cook your apples before putting them in the batter
My hubby likes them from 7-Eleven.
Cinnamon in the dough is what makes them so good - our bakery always mixed it in the dough before frying. Yours made me hungry!
👁 👁
👄 Always a good combination cinnamon +🍎🍎🍎🍎=😋😋😋😂🤣🤣
I am so glad I found you! I am from Winnipeg, Canada!
Never had an Apple Fritter without Cinnamon, it's the outbursts the delicious flavor. Great presentation You two.
Hi Bridgette , well now you know cooking is fun , heres one to try , It;s a chesse on toast with a twist
a little butter then , Banarna first with cheese , then lightly sprinkial with Carrie? ?
grill it till chess is brown and cut to size, P.S use the Bread you like most as thats important too, enjoy
I thought the same thing. Either add to the batter or the icing or both. I love cinnamon.
Her accent reminds me of my aunt and cousin from Alabama. There's a positive joy in it that's infectious.
That recipe book is an absolute treasure so you can take it to the bank every recipe coming our of it is magnificent.
This Apple Fritter recipe reminded me of what my Miami used to make. I'm 54 and my Miami never had a recipe book or measuring tools..she never needed them because everything she baked or cooked was from the heart or passed down from generations. I remember me and my cousin putting her in the kitchen with all of the measuring tools so we could try to measure everything and write down her recipes. Unlike my cousin I was able to stay with my grandparents every summer to work in their vegetable garden when the harvest came in....my grandmother taught me how to cook with live and from the heart...the best meals I make are the ones where I don't need my measuring tools.
This video is so special because it reminds me of my time spent with my wonderful Mimi.
Hope everybody’s doing good ever since Ian hit the state Never been through a hurricane but a tropical storm when Isaias storm right on through South Jersey 2 years ago
It was my first one though
Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes! You 2 are the BEST
That ole cookbook is gold. They hold receipes like this one.
Those fritters look so tasty, like a fried pie. I have an ole fair book I use for pie crust. Thank you for making this. Bye
Looks good. I almost always modify recipes. I like to take 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoons Cloves mixed together . Put about a fourth of this and add to some cornstarch in a separate container, mixing well. Then shake the apples in this mixture. The rest of the spices go in the batter. Then add the apples and proceed. This give them a bit of apple pie type flavor. You can also use apple juice if you have it for the liquid that you put into your glaze. This adds a bit more apple flavor.
I liked your idea but how do we give it butter flavor like the lady mentioned in the video for she’s right it would make a whole lot of difference. Any idea on that? I don’t like adding it to frying oil. Would it work to just dip them in melted butter before glazing or maybe add butter to glaze, yeah?
@@hana.the.writer5074 maybe add some butter extract when adding vanilla extract?
@@hana.the.writer5074 adding butter as you said would probably work. I don't use vegetable oil myself. The process needed to make that stuff is horrid. I do often cook with butter.
This was one of the first things we learned in Home Ec. I still make them every once in a while. Now I need to make them soon!!
Me to 55 years ago. We (Australia) had the "commonsense cookbook" for home ec, a plain grey cover, no pictures but really sensible recipes probably from the same era as this one. Brings back memories.
Rose, they offered home ec. in my California high school 50 plus years ago .. don't think schools offer that course anymore..???
@@suzyhayden8643 No they don't, or auto shop, regular shop none of that stuff the kids need no days.

Your apple fritters looks delicious!
I’m from NC and first time watching! I do believe adding some vanilla and cinnamon into batter before frying would add a lot of flavor. Glad I found your channel. 😊
Welcome!!
Hey Tammy. I have been watching you and your husband for years. I love a lot of the recipes that you make. I use to work a bakery. They took a small portion of the raw donut dough added some apple pie filling out of the can after they chopped the apples in it into smaller pieces. They added cinnamon to the apple pie filling. This helped give the apple filling a real good taste. They glazed them with powder sugar with a little bit of vanilla flavoring. They are delicious. The bakery is still going strong. Thank you for making such good food on your videos.
From Graham NC and I'm gonna make these soon
@@kysmik8214 The dough was thick enough to hold it. I would use a half of a can of pie filling. You still need to chop the apples in to small pieces first. Then add it to you dough. You can add as much cinnamon as you want according to your taste.
Did the same way, after cutting all the donuts , then using left over chopped it up added apples and cinnamon then made into (kind of like Hamburg shape) weight 3to4 ounces put on a frying screen then they have to be PROOFED then deep fried and glazed ( which came in buckets poured in a large glazing trough)
My dear, if I had to choose 100 recipe videos to stick in a time capsule for future generations, this would be one of them. Lovely video. Beautifully shot and you are a wonderful presenter. Oh, yeah...few things are more scrumptious than a hot apple fritter. Thanks for the video!
I feel like I"m back in the kitchen with my Grandma!! She had a nice relaxed way in the kitchen too. She made me brave, because she said there's no wrong if it tastes good. Love your show!!
Love that!
@@CollardValleyCooks Me too
Those look better than the ones at the store. I think they over cook them. Those look yummy 😋🤤
Smell it heck I wish I could taste them
He likes apple fritters and you tasted them in front of him and didn't give him any. Poor Chris. You must have been a bad boy that day. Just 😂
New Mexico I love watching your videos thank you.
When I fried the donuts for the grocery store bakery I work for, we put the cinnamon in the glaze. We also got the fritters frozen and fried them after they thawed. So I never got to make them from scratch like this. These look so good. And so easy to make.
That's fantastic finding that book. We have to buy these books up before they are lost to history.
This is the first time watching your channel.
I'm from Ohio, but born in West Virginia. And just found your channel. 😊
Have a wonderful day everyone. 😁😊
@@allenelder4675
I stop by the thrift store every few weeks to check out the new books that have been donated. They also have my phone number and call me when they get a large donation of books. They still only charge 25¢ for each book. The same price for twenty five years. Isn't that something. 😁
You know, the internet is great. But it is not dependable. It might not be around forever. It really could go out any time. So we still need to hang onto our books. And it feels really wrong to throw away books. That is knowledge that should be shared. Not tossed in the trash.
Know what I mean.
You have a wonderful day Allen. 😁
I have a feeling we're going to have to go back to eating those parts of the cow we used to...
You're channel is so great, thank you and your hubby for sharing your home with us ❤️
Love to see you using SaladMaster cookware! About 1952, my mom bought the entire set and I grew up knowing nothing but my grandmothers cast Iron skillets and the SaladMaster. Am 70 yrs old now and still using them. Best cookware ever made! Good luck to you and and yours. God Bless!!!
I’ve had a set of Salad Master cookware since 1976. I use them everyday and they still look like new!
I thought your pan was Saladmaster. I have had a set of Saladmaster cookware since the 1970's and still use it. My husband and I both think food tastes better when cooked in Saladmaster and it is made in America. I will not buy any cookware or dishwaters made in China.
Sorry, there was a type. It should have been dishwares.
I'm from Columbus, Georgia and have been watching for two years. God bless y'all.
I never had an apple fritter without cinnamon in the batter. Love that they are so easy. Great job.
Yes, only thing i'm missing... they still look yummy
Yeah, I was wondering the same. But the original recipe is from 1927, so maybe cinnamon just wasn't as common back then or perhaps difficult to come by?
Neither had I. It just doesn’t sound right without it. But I’m gonna guess it’s good. I would put Apple Pie spice on the apples if nothing else
That seems like a team effort! - she does the cookin’ and he does the filmin’ and dotin’ …….they prove quite wholesome and I enjoyed the whole presentation
Lady, you just made my whole day. My 77 year old father-in-law has been begging me to learn to make these. ❤️ Also, that book is worth it's weight in gold!!!! ❤️ God bless
Edit: I just found your channel and I'm from New Hampshire, USA ❤️🥰
I'm so glad!
I’m in Louisiana and I know I smell it, now I taste it! Glory be!

Sounds like you two have a good relationship 👍
Love the way you and Chris interact with eachother. Y'all are awesome!! God Bless you
I'm from Kentucky and have been watching you for about a year or more. With all the quarantines I got interested in cooking videos and trying new recipes. Thank you for all you do. 😊
Those apple fritters look delicious! They look closer to the ones I remember that were good, but I think any apple fritters I've had were made with a yeast dough. Most of the time the store bought ones can be kind of dense and often either wet or dry, and most of the time, you are hunting for the apples and coming up short. I think for anyone attempting this recipe, I'd suggest not rolling or shaping it, because the more the dough is handled, the greater likelihood that it will become tough. I think the freeform cooking gives the fritters a fun shape with pleasantly crunchy bits on the outside, and the contrasts of textures is part of the experience in enjoying the fritters. It might not be a bad idea to coat the apples with a dusting of a flour and cinnamon blend before stirring them into the batter or even adding a kiss of cinnamon to the glaze.
Oh, goodness, goodness yummy observation. Try it out!
This is such a wholesome and heartwarming video. I miss the old days when I would bake with my grandmother
I’m Bebe from Texas and I’ve been watching Y’all for years what a great channel thank you
I grew up in New England apple country. My father was born in 1934, the youngest of five. My grandmother was certainly making apple fritters before 1927, probably an Americanization of Swedish apple breakfast dumplings. You're right about butter in the oil. The cinnamon too, but mixed in the apple with nutmeg as well. Never a glaze, but a dipping bowl of reduced apple cider. Your cramped cozy kitchen is a lot like hers, too. Fond memories. Thank you.
I've only recently discovered your site, but I love the integrity and classic nature of your recipes. Apple fritters! I've gone to Heaven! I live in Australia, and I love your accents, too! Keep it coming.
Hi I'm Anna from Charlotte NC. I have been watching for a few months myself. I am so pleased to see your joy in trying recipes from the past, so nice. I remember home economics in school. So you really bring me back to good old home cooking. Simple and filling and quite healthy for active southerners. Thank you for your love of cooking and your husband for support. 🙏☺️❤️
Hi Tammy! I'm watching this video on March 26,2023 from Davenport, Florida. I was born and raised in Central Florida in 1959. My family goes back 4 generations from me here and we were as country as country could be. Back then, before Dismal World came and wrecked my hometown, my Mama used to make some delicious home recipes. She had a copy of that cookbook! I look forward to making a batch of these for my husband. He loves apple fritters. Thank you for bringing back such fond memories of Mama 🥰 and the old recipes. May the Lord our God bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and grant you His perfect Shalom peace. 💖🙏🙌
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee and live now in Denver, Colorado where it’s almost impossible to have good Southern cooking! Thank God for you!!
I agree so much: all too many apple fritters are woefully lacking in APPLE! This ratio was spot-on. I personally am partial to Jonathan apples, tart/sweet, beloved by my great-grandmother . Autumn was never really autumn without her cooking with apples...
I am over 70, and 2nd of 9 kiddos. We also had foster brothers and sisters, and others who depended on our 'abilities.' We made about 20 loaves of bread each week. Cinnamon rolls, pies, cookies, cakes, etc, were common fare, along with numerous casseroles and stews. Growing up on our farm, if we didnt raise it, or grow it, we didnt eat. I have had some easier years in my subsequent years, but have returned to my roots, in the last 15 or so, and have my own farm, gardens, animals, etc. This brought back great memories of Mom, Grandmoms, Aunts, and others, hanging out in kitchens, and doing what women used to commonly do. Thank you!!
I love vintage cookbooks. They are fun to read and most of the recipes hold up.
First video I've ever seen on apple fritters! Seems easy and delicious !
I made these and they are delicious. The only thing I did differently was dust the apples in cinnamon sugar before mixing in the dough. It's the way they're made at Tim Hortons in Canada. Coffee time!
EXCELLENT TIP❣️🇨🇦
But i imagine taste wayyyyy better! Im going to try this, Thank you!
I live in Alberta Canada. Tim Hortons used to make decent apple fritters. Now you are lucky to get a teeny chunk of apple.
@@lovecats6856 since Burger King bought it out it’s not the same they cheap out on everything. I’m in B.C. I’m pretty sure they don’t use Philadelphia cream cheese anymore, or Nutella brand hazelnut. I know they changed to a different coffee I can’t drink it, it’s too acidic. The dark roast is ok. And yeah the fritters went downhill too. I can’t wait to try these this weekend! 😃
Remember back when there were several types of doughnuts? Hardly any variety now.
I've been watching for about 3 or 4 years I think I love all your recipes love watching you and your hubby thank you God bless you!
I so miss cooking like this. My grandma was an amazing home cook
When I was a little kid my big brother would make corn, & apple, & pear fritters not combined each was done all at 1 time making enough dough to make 1 dozen each type. He also used all spice. Or apple pie spice, or ginger. Just added a bit of extra flavor. Yummy.
Now, that's a great plan!
Gonna hafta try those spices!
Thanks!!
My Mum would use all spice
I used to have Apple fritters with my grandma when we went to flea market together. Priceless memories
Watching from southern California for about 3 yrs....Love you guys ❤ thanks for all the lovely recipes
I made these apple fritters today but I used gluten free flour. They turned out perfect! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
So glad!
Wondering what kind of gluten free flour? Did you change anything? My daughter is gluten free.
I like Cup 4 cup gluten free flour. I didn’t change anything else in the recipe.
Thank you I was wondering.
I was just checking the comments on the off chance that someone may have tried a GF substitution 🎉
Apple Fritters are one of my favorites!! I do like a lot of cinnamon in the batter! Look yummy!!
Yes I love apple fritters too I’m going to make these tonight😋
In PA our homemade apple fritters always have cinnamon swirled through them surrounding the apples. We enjoy the heavy doughiness of them - nice heavy dough spots, juicy pockets of delicious cinnamon apple, and fried in lard. These look like a healthier version of our Dutch apple fritters. They look delicious though! I love that you used lots of apple! Yummmm…
From Philly and those cinnamon heavy pockets of heaven are what I grew up with. But I'll definitely try making these!!
We love apple fritters. I always make them for Easter brunch and I use Macintosh apples for all my apple recipes! Thanks for sharing
My first time watching and you got me with your southern manners and hospitality!! I've been cooking since I was about 5 years old, hanging out and watching my grandmother's, my mother, my step mother and a couple aunts, so I've had a lot of great teachers over the years and have acquired a lot of great recipes and love to learn something new everyday!! I have 9 children and live in nome, Alaska. It's cheaper for me to make my children's goodies instead of buying them at the store. I look forward to watching more of your videos!!
Wonderful!
I use honey crisp apples as well! This recipe is easy to make and it’s a keeper! I will have to wait until we have a cheat day to make these!
I will add chopped apples to my salad today but I will be thinking about your apple fritters!
😭.
Love you Ms Tammy!Thank You for sharing your recipes!😋♥️
Thank you!,,,,I appreciate good people like this…
I just made them! THEY ARE SO GOOD MY PARENTS LOVE THEM THANK YOU!!!!
Glad you like them!
@@CollardValleyCooks my family and I are looking forward for the banana fritters....thank you!
Tried this recipe this sunday morning and have to tell you they were super and the husband loved them. Easy recipe and easy to prepare and fix. Can't wait to try on the grandkids. Thank you
One of the nicest parts of collecting vintage cookbooks is reading the sweet personal inscriptions. Cookbooks were popular wedding gifts and the sentiments can be very touching.
Northern California and been watching for 3 years!!! Have all 3 of your books!!! Love apple fritters!!!!😊
Awesome! Thank you!
First time here. I'm from Sweden. Never had Apple fritters. We do make "äppelmunkar" they are similar to donuts.
This recipe seems easy and fun, and the fritters do look delicious!
I'll give it a try for a weekend dessert!
Thanks for sharing 🤗🕊️
Don't share with friends, or they will eat it all!
Can apple fritters be frozen
@@nancywineland2242 no reason they couldn't be.
I really enjoyed you frying the apple fritters. I think you and Chris are a great team. Stay safe and celebrate a Merry Christmas.
During the Fall season along with cooler temps, you don't seem to mind baking and frying more. The smell of apples, and cinnamon fills the house. It's a wonderful smell.🙂
I am 77. I watched my ethnic German grandmother make these when I was a little girl. She was an immigrant and could not read. I don’t know where she learned this but it was so similar to this recipe. Hers were so delicious. Such good memories. Thank you. 🙏☮️❤️
Thank you so much for always cutting into/breaking open, tasting, and showing your delicious food up close! (It always is a letdown when a cook finishes the dish but doesn’t show its texture inside or how it tastes!) Love your recipes, and love your personality!
I’m from Los Angeles CA and been watching your Chanel for about 2 months now. Loving it! My mom was from the south and I love country cooking, your recipes are amazing👍🏽
I made them yesterday and added cinnamon and my kids absolutely loved them.Thanks for this recipe.
Glad you tried them!
Been watching for several months.from east Texas..you are very knowledgeable and so sweet!
Tammy, it is SO good to see you chopping and cooking and working in your kitchen; looking healthy and back to your cheerful self again. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless you all.
I can just imagine that your kitchen smells heavenly as you fry those fritters🍎😊 Tyfs, love from Yulee, Fl💝

My mom used to make apple fritters and sh used to put apple pie spice in the batter. She had her grandmothers church cook book it has been passed down to me. I use that cook book just about every week there’s an apple bread recipe in that book that I make every year for thanksgiving. I would send you the recipe as soon as get the book back from my daughter in law
I’m from Australia and I really enjoyed your cooking and the way you work well with Chris , so loving to each other and polite,
Watching from Baltimore, MD, for the first time. I love this Apple Fritter recipe ... it's like my Granny (great-grandmother) used to make, in Altoona, PA. Your book is from 1927, and she was a young mother then. Yum! Thanks for the demo!
Our family makes them with cinnamon in the batter. Such a perfect pairing with apples. Now I'm carving some of these yummy delights.
Really enjoyed your video. I used to eat apple fritters when I went to school in Bristol Virginia. I love southern food. I now live in Naples Fl. The ones I had , had cinnamon in them.. Can’t wait to try the recipe , but can’t find it, and I don’t have the book. Maybe you could help?
I just saw your comment following this recipe, how much cinnamon would you put in the batter? I'm curious
My previous question is for D W, who's family makes the apple fritters with cinnamon in the batter.
Everyone doing okay ever since Hurricane Ian came by there?
If you have never tasted an Envy apple, you need to. They are really good. I can’t wait to try these!❤️❤️❤️
The cook book is in good shape for it being 1927. Yum on the fritters.
Stumbled across this video and used it as leverage for my kids to eat vegetables. We made these tonight but added clove, nutmeg, and raisins as well. You earned a subscribe from us in Columbia, SC!
I made these for my family on Christmas morning, they were drooling they were so GOOD and so easy for me !! They will be a cherished tradition for years to come !!!
Glad you tried them!
You two are the sweetest couple. I can feel the love coming from your voices. Your food always looks delicious.
God bless you
I've been watching for years,, love, love, love your videos
Look yummy, I make them with the cinnamon mixed in the dough prior to frying ( can add raisins too) ! And if I don't glaze, I put the doughnuts while warm into a covered bowl and toss in a cinnamon/sugar mixture (1 cup granulated sugar : 1 tsp cinnamon)
A classic fritter actually does have cinnamon in it but for an addition you can add nutmeg and it really gives it a warm fall flavor
I have
Yes it does
I added almond flavoring instead vanilla. The 1st time I made them I added cinnamon to the batter. The 2nd time I added cinnamon to the icing. Either way they were delicious
Just stumbled onto you page. It's awesome. I haven't made fritters in years. Thank you!!!
@@teresacranedid you make them? I'm about to.. 🌸
