Apple Fritters

One of my favorite places to go in the morning is Banbury Cross (a bakery) but I now live 12 hours away, it a little hard to go there. I love all there fruit fitters. I have been making my own and I think this one is very close. Remember, when trying to get frying temps. use a Volcano, An oil pan, or your camp chef stove. Also it is important to use a candy thermometer.

FRITTERS
2 Granny smith apples,peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
