Pour the oil into a deep pan or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. Sift flour, sugar, salt and apple pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Place the eggs in a separate bowl and beat them lightly. Add the milk and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Add the butter and beat with a mixer at low speed to moisten, about ½ minute. S
…and increase the speed to average for two more minutes. Double the apples. Using a measuring cup the size of a cup of ¼, put it in hot oil. Be careful not to splash the oil. If your pot is not very large on top, you may only be able to cook one at a time. As the fritters cook, they will rise to the top. When they are browned on the first side, carefully turn them over with a spatula t
brown the second side. Drain on paper towels and immediately and generously sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar or icing. To make the glaze the confectioners’ sugar and milk or water are mixed and glazed while still hot.
