America's Test Kitchen just had an episode on apple fritters and I had a
*duh* moment! They said to keep them from getting soggy, to add the chopped
apples to the dry ingredients and mix them in well. I do know to do this!
I have made plenty of things with fruit in them over the years and always
did this when I baked. But this recipe didn't say to do this and I just
plain forgot! The finished product did in fact turn out soggy by the next
day. Still edible, but a tad soggy. Hopefully these will fare better. I
also a different glaze, the one they did on the show which used apple juice
as the liquid and also cinnamon. They did not add vanilla but I added some.
Still the extract as my beans have not arrived yet. I hope that was not the
missing Fed Ex package. The Fed Ex guy brought me a package the other day
and said that his records said that I had another one. But he didn't have
it. Perhaps it was on another truck? But it never arrived. Everything
else that I have ordered has been accounted for.
