I doubled this recipe because I knew my family and I had a feeling it was going to be a winner and that my family would want seconds. I was right! These are super yummy breakfast treat. I made extra of the cinnamon sugar mixture because I wanted to coat the apple fritters with the cinnamon/sugar mixture instead of sprinkling. The caramel sauce was yummo too. My family and I truly enjoyed this recipe and it's a definate keeper. tag game.

These were great! Loved the crisp outside and the batter was so easy to mix up. I served them as part of "dinner for breakfast" with maple syrup instead of caramel which worked well. A very nice treat with out fun dinner.

I made these as an after-school snack for my GD and her frieds. They scoffed them up and all gave a thumbs up. Coming from this finicky group that means five stars.
