I'd love to see you try the other batter and compare the two recipes to see which one you like better, what the difference is, which is easier to work with, etc.

My mother received that when she got married in1918!! She gave it too me full of her comments, changes, and updates as the years changed cooking, she lived by this book, and entertained a lot( my father was a a Doctor. Now I'm 85, so I gave it to my baby sister's daughter..❤❤❤❤

[@crmfilling1960]

Hello Stephanie, I have made fritters like that for years over 50, using a 150 year old hand me down family recipe. The only difference is that in 1950 my grandmother was in a hurry and diced the apples instead of slicing apples. She had 14 children, so time was important. In about 1965, while helping her, I accidently spilled cinnamon onto the diced apples. After that, we started tossing apple chunks in about 1 teaspoon cinnamon before adding to batter. After frying, some were glazed, some dusted with powdered sugar, some with white sugar, some with brown sugar. (Hard to please 14 children as far as sweetness, texture, etc.) my favorite where dusted with light brown sugar. Many variations have been tried over the years. I prefer light frying over a darker fried. They freeze well and are great with coffee tea, hot chocolate.

[@tracitries9514]

I made a video showing how to make butter “exactly like Pawpaw did”. I mentioned it could be done several ways, but I was making it the same way. I got an insane amount of comments telling me I could do it differently. I was like y’all all failed on listening. 😂 I love that you’re using old recipes to see how they did it! So fun!!!

[@thedenmanhomestead]

Lol I feel you!

[@kp-ue3xn]

Listening is a failed learning.. 😂😂😂

[@nada7.077]

Good job Stephanie! I would have added in cinnamon also. The old recipes don’t use sugar as much because it was still kind of a rare, expensive commodity. It’s wonderful you are trying and sharing these wonderful old recipes ❤️🙏

[@magdalenaearnshaw3055]

I love apple fritters😋 love your videos Stephanie❤🎉

[@carmendoyle9786]

What if u flour the apples than dip in . Can I say u two are such a beautiful couple ! U can see the love between u two ! So beautiful ❤

I LOVE old cookbooks. They have so many great recipes that is basic cooking.

[@lizregan1949]

Oh, my favorite. I don't eat many sweets because I am diabetic but my true treat to myself is an apple fritter.

[@susanabaxley493]

I love apple fritter’s and I think I will try this. I like the idea of no added sugar in the mix. The canned vegetables along your cabinet looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing Stephanie and thank you to Buddy for being the taste tester. 🌼🌸

[@rebeccareed6824]

Oh yeah, love Apple fritters too.

[@Barbara-gy9jq]

The Settlement Cookbook was published in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and was used to teach us how to cook in 7th & 8th grade in our school.

[@theothermrs.randle3416]

I'm an apple fritter girl too😋🥰🥰

[@marjoriegoodman7708]

Apple fritter is always my go-to donut. They all looked delicious I probably would have liked the last one with the cinnamon.

[@toniatye7159]

Apple fritters are my favorite ❤

[@OhSweetParker]

I want to be the taster next time. Love apple fritters and lemon fritters.

[@ileanaflorea5020]

I’m with Buddy! I like the one with cut apples. Quick’n easy recipe ❤

[@shirleyleiding5397]

I worked for Winchell donuts years ago . Fritter were made from all the over dough after you cut all the raised donuts. Chopped up dough, apple filling with a cinnamon make them into patties then set aside to rise and then fry them and put glaze on the Fritter

[@DannaK247]

My Dad had a much loved favorite his sister would send to him. It was basically an apple pie filling put in a pie crust and fried. They were called fried pies. He loved them! I guess you could use any kind of fruit filling, but Apple was his favorite. ❤

[@coleneritchie5625]

Cherry pie filling is my favorite for fried pies.

[@MLPowell691]

My mother made the best fried apricot pies. Unfortunately, i can’t match the recipe.

[@elainebouley4002]

I love old cook books❤️ My mom gave me all hers before she passed, they were well loved and the old recipes are great!!! My kids always ask me how to make certain things and I send the pics of the recipe from the old cookbook ❤️

[@MitziJaxon]

I think you will find that the batter is more like a ‘DROP SCONE’ ( BISCUIT to you;-) I have made lots of both DROPSCONES and FRITTERS (fritters have a slightly thinner batter which you can have as thin or thick as you choose but, that was definitely a drop scone batter) Google a modern fritter batter and test that also . . . “DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS”🤗 Absolutely adore your posts and you are one very talented Lass🙏🏻🥰

[@karenbarnes5517]

Love apple 🍏 fritter my favorite

[@DarrenTaylor-qj2em]

Good morning sweet Denmans ❤☕️☕️🍩🍩🍩🍪🍪🍪🥛🥛

[@thedenmanhomestead]

Good Morning!

[@donnawestland6773]

The old cook cookbooks are the best. Also community or church ones are really good

[@patriciaober4647]

The how to as you describe in that old book sounds like my home economics school class in the 1960's. Compulsory attendance too!

[@patdawson7912]

Great old recipe. I do like the apples chunked rather than sliced.

[@BethJoh544]

I love banana fritters with ice cream.

[@jimmcclure7720]

That.......... that right there.....sounds good.

[@katslo5154]

OK, now I have to try these. 🍌

[@janmoore8241]

Good demonstration with the different variations for the apple fritter.

[@dorismatthews4416]

Yummy! Keep on keepin' on!

[@carmendoyle9786]

I love the old cook books ! I brought one back from Malta 🇲🇹 that were we from ! Thanks for sharing your videos ❤

[@karenbarnes5517]

Buddy is Spot On…

[@lindamaskus5142]

My most favorite donut is.......apple fritter!!! Love them! Can't wait to see how you do this.

[@P.B1962]

Thank you Stephanie for sharing this recipe. I've always wanted to actually try to make it myself but I'm not sure exactly why I haven't because I have Cook book's and I really appreciate you doing theses older recipes. I grew up in a family of cook's from my grandma's house and my momma and now I live by myself so sometimes I just don't feel like cooking for just me. But when I do I'm so used to cooking for a lot of people and I'm always calling family members and asking them if they would be interested in what's on the menu for today. My family members love my cooking and that makes me happy and feel good to know and see them enjoying my food's that I have prepared that day. God Bless y'all and have a great weekend Deman Homestead 🙏💐...

[@jimmcclure7720]

You had me at apple fritter. My go to is also an apple fritter. I may have to give those a try with the cinnamon. I have to agree with Buddy on the over sweetness part. I have had them where you need something savory after you eat it to beat back the sweetness so I try to have a piece of bacon or sausage handy to fix that...lol. But those look very good....now I want a fritter.....

[@stacikinney2759]

Apple fritters are my favorite donut too. Those look delicious 🤤

[@rickibelden986]

Rhubarb fritters would be good and Jamie would love them I'll bet.

[@carolynkosin6256]

This is giing to be so Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brendamosure7218]

Well I can tell ya that they do use sugar in the dough Steph. I use to many years ago be a scratch baker and know they put sugar in, and the apples where cubed. But they always say that home made is better then store or shop bought. You put time and love into making food so it taste a lot better and different for sure. Enjoyed watching and I am sure with all the fruit trees ya have planted that you will be making fritters with other fruit for sure. Luv ya guys ❤️ 💙 💜

[@gloriajbeall1194]

They look very yummy ❤️

[@charlesadent]

I love apple fritters. You did an awesome video and they look so delicious! Also like the sign on the wall saying endless love. 🙏🙏❤️😎😎😃

[@celesteredding1550]

[@tammyjoyful6006]

Blueberry Fritters are delicious too

[@user-qe6mm1il4u]

Home made ice cream is fun too 😊

[@elizabethcox1436]

Yummy 😋

[@sharonosborne]

Hi hun apple fritters we’re used also as a evening meal served with corn on the cob and peas in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 mainly Sunday meal after roast dinner as it was a simple thing for kids to help with as many years ago Sunday was the day of rest never had any shops etc open it was just a family day

[@23Jodit]

Love a good apple fritter! Cinnamon makes everything better. If you ever need a taste tester, I volunteer!😂

[@sherricallahan2539]

I wish I had my momma’s recipe for dried apple turnovers. They were the best, and the dried apples had a totally different flavor.

[@suzannmiller1468]

Apple Friters are my favorite. They all look great but I would like the last one with cinnamon.

[@juliannabranch3359]

I absolutely love apple fritters never made them but I might try to now

[@donnaduda450]

good job Steph

[@H2Ocritter]

I had a Settlement cookbook and someone from work borrowed it and never gave it back. Years later my Uncle died and He had a Settlement cookbook that I received - I won’t be loaning this one out!

[@DonnaNeal-q9n]

I love apple fritters also, good pick!❤😂😅❤😊

[@wendyjohnson2366]

How I missed this video? Apple anything yumm they looked delicious

[@terrymueller7394]

Going one more high on the pickles? 😂😂. OMG, I’m imagining canned veggies stored under Elora’s bed. Opening the closet and jars of canned veggies falling out. Opening your car door and more falling out. Gonna’ be a long growing season. Would have been fun to keep track of the number of zucchini you pick. Thanks for the education. ❣️

[@bettyrandall8243]

Loved watching this recipe.Steph you do a good job showing and explaining things.

[@LewisAcreFarm]

We used to have a donut shop locally that we would go hang out in. They had a small cafe there as well. We talked to the owner a lot. He told us that apple fritters are usually made using the bits and pieces of dough from all the other donuts that they make for the store. So the cuttings from making glazed, cake, old-fashioned, long John's, etc, are thrown into a mixer and then apples are added and then the dough is fried to make the fritters. The glaze is what makes it so sweet.

[@pattdunn9845]

Interesting!

[@thedenmanhomestead]

Oh wow!

[@LewisAcreFarm]

It was a way to use up the scraps and avoid waste. Pretty creative! Basically, fritters are the "trash" donuts of the donut shop. 🤣😂🤣 I love em though! They are my favorite! I love the crunchy edges and chewy middles.

[@amyrockenbach7028]

Thats how we use to make or dough for cinnomon rolls.

[@debmyatt108]

Always good to see things done a different way. It satisfies my need to learn something new everyday.

[@MLPowell691]

Stephanie, it would be interesting to see if the book will fall open to the most used recipe that the original owner used.

[@peggymcaliney210]

Good job Steph I must remember to go back to this video so I can make them

[@pamelamacik4826]

Looks so much easier to do than I expected ❤ might give this a try. Thanks for your honest review

[@user-qe6mm1il4u]

Must be fun and interesting to use that old cook book, when I was young I had one with just the basic ingredients, it's probably all they had. I would think those probably taste more like a biscuit?!! When I was in school we could take a class on home eck? Cooking , setting the table proper, Lol! ironing, sewing etc, hey, needed to learn somewhere

[@susanschultz8142]

Good Job Stephanie! I like that you are so willing to do the original then add a twist to the next batch. I occasionally enjoy an Apple Fritter. They are not my favorite donut but I do enjoy one. My favorite is almost anything chocolate, lol The recipe certainly is easy so I will give it a try but like you I will cube the apple. Tomorrow is shopping day so I'll pick up the apples. Thank you for sharing I always enjoy Denman videos!

[@Sarah-tm4nn]

Thank you for using the cookbook!❤❤

[@lacontelucas2721]

I like apple fritters look good ❤

[@lindahipp8329]

Sounds like a success. GOD BLESS Y'ALL

[@tiffanytupper8983]

Yumm! You should try it with black berries and in the air fryer?🧡💜🧡

[@elisariojas2964]

Good job Stephanie

[@carrolganoe9896]

YUM!!

[@katslo5154]

I think I would like the third one. Maybe try lemon juice to make the glaze. 🍎🍏

[@julie-annecordwell3290]

Hi Steph I’m bad I’m 2 days late watching your video and omg I’m going to have to try the apple fritters they look awesome thanks so much for sharing the recipes with us stay blessed sending love to the whole family

[@carlamorris5410]

Steph I just love watching your videos. You are so calming! My mother loves Apple fritters. She was in the hospital last week and is now home. I may just try to make these for her! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@MoonBabyNails]

I always follow recipes to the tee the first time. If we make changes to a recipe, I will write the changes on my recipe card or in my recipe book. I figured those are my cookbooks and it's ok to write in them. LOL. Funny, I was thinking cinnamon would be a great addition and then you said it. I will have to give this one a try, sounds sooooo good. Thanks for sharing. TTYL, my friend. ~~~~Tina

[@melaniedonaldson2394]

Thank you Stephanie. Awesome video as always! So educational! I’m making me some soon!

[@dianacox2293]

Steph awe you made my mouth water for a good ol' apple fritter!!!! Can't remember exactly last time I had one but been at least 6 months or more ago. I love apple fritters I usually got the little bit of glazed ones. I bought them at a bakery in the grocery store. Yours looked really really good. Thanks for sharing your love for cooking.

[@deborahrogers5569]

Yum!

[@mel49ers]

The cubes sounds better too yes I agree needs a little cinnamon would like the to try this

[@dianapendleton5717]

I would definitely make the 1st ones.

[@saundragisler]

Yum sounds so good ,I’m going to fix these❤

[@Mandsb69]

Cinnamon is my favourite sweet taste, I have it instead of sugar 😊❤

[@Miauwies]

Mmmm I never ate those, I'm really curious now. They look delicious. 😋 I played some video's on autoplay and was busy in the garden. So I didn't comment on all of them, but I did enjoy them. 💜💜💜

[@brendaconcepcion838]

Hi Stephanie God bless u girl!! I just love love ur videos...i loveeee baking and will def try this..have a wonderful bless day.

[@sharonosborne]

You would also put flour on your hands dump a spoonful of batter with apple into a bowl of flour pick up and roll and mould with your hands before frying

[@tracygibson5151]

Thank you for sharing! Looks so delicious 😋

[@marciaborg77]

Loved the video. Looks sooo yummy

[@sarahjaneyoung8566]

Many old recipes won't use a lot of sugar. From the start of the great depression until after dust bowl or you could say the end of World War ll sugar was a limited commodity. My grandma made thin pies and Uncle still likes to have that kind of pie mainly cause you can scoop up a piece and just go. Your fritters look real good.

[@maryanntulloch9196]

🍏🍎 My choice is usually an apple fritter at the donut shop too. Probably for the texture of the batter as well as the apples. I am still wondering why it suggested serving with lemon slices. The original recipe suggested slicing after first coring. It would have meant a circular donut shape. Then it would have looked like a traditional donut on first glance, not a biscuit or loaf shape. Your tester was hungry. Hope he found more to fill himself up before returning to work. 😉😄 I was taught to use a glass measuring cup for liquids. You must have seen the Pyrex or Anchor Hocking ones. Not sure it would have made a difference in this recipe, but might in cakes. 🇨🇦❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦 28:45

[@jenniferbrake1109]

I always wondered how to make apple fritters, the only ones I have ever had is from Tim Hortons, and there glazed and very sweet! ❤

[@kayscheck4858]

My Mom used to make corn fritters they were delicious!!!

[@theresauhlenhake6962]

I love apple fritters. Try corn fritters. We ate them as a meal like pancake with maple syrup yummy

[@nancydalton4629]

Are you canning squash yet?? A couple of those jars looked like squash and I don’t want to miss any videos!!! ❤❤❤

[@thedenmanhomestead]

Yes! Videos coming soon... I'm back logged with editing and baseball ending ahhhh!

[@carolerice9596]

I love apple fritters!! They look so delicious. On going on the hill. Have a great day ❤️❤️❤️

[@pattdunn9845]

I need snap vision! Cause I want a hot fritter, now! I would go for the middle one. I don't like sticking to my pastries . Cool video.
