Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the apple pie filling, cake mix, and cinnamon. This is your shortcut to fall heaven, no peeling or slicing involved.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in enough oil to coat the bottom. This is where the magic happens!
Drop spoonfuls of the apple mixture into the hot oil, forming adorable little apple fritters. Fry them for 3-4 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and looking irresistibly crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Yes, we’re frying, but we’re still civilized.
Serve warm, and if you’re feeling fancy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Because why not?
