Apple, Cheddar & Bacon Fritters
Ingredients:
1 pound apples, peeled, cored and shredded
1 cup aged cheddar cheese, shredded
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
oil for shallow frying
Directions:
Squeeze as much excess liquid from the shredded apples as you can in a tea towel. (Reserve and enjoy the fresh apple juice!)
Mix everything except the frying oil.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add heaping tablespoons of the apple mixture, forming patties and fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side, before setting aside on paper towels to drain.
