BA Bake Club: Glazed Apple Pie Fritters

“I've always wanted to go to a state fair,” Shilpa tells co-host and fellow Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewczyk.  “I only know that there's a lot of fried food, and there's sometimes butter sculptures…. Oh my God, what a magical place this sounds like!” In her latest BA Bake Club drop, Shilpa makes at least a part of this dream a reality in the form of her Glazed Apple Pie Fritters. They’re studded with tender chunks of apple, and spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, and yes, deep fried.  Food journalist and podcaster Mark Bittman and his co-host and daughter Kate Bittman from the podcast Food with Mark Bittman stopped by to help coach Kate in the fine art of frying. “Frying dough is kind of benign, right?” assures Mark. “And once it's browned, it's done…so start with that [cue for beginners].” It’s as easy as apple…fritters.  We’d love to hear from you!
