This Pineapple Zucchini Bread is a great way to “get rid” of some of your garden vegetables.
Plus, it doesn’t even taste like the dreaded vegetable that begins with a “Z”. In fact, you’ll hardly even know it’s there. The shredded zucchini blends into the batter as it bakes creating a moist bread sweetened with pineapple and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Believe me, your family will love it!
Even those who are not a fan of this vegetable will like this bread.

This is the perfect recipe to use with those big, slightly overgrown zucchini that someone brought in from the garden. If the zucchini is too big, cut the seed out of the centers and shred the rest after you peel it.

Apple Cider Fritters is a delicious recipe we enjoy in the fall that I make using my dad’s fresh apple cider. I’m not sure there is a better way to welcome in Autumn than by enjoying one of these lovelies.
Have I mentioned before that my dad likes to harvest apples in the fall to make apple cider? He uses one of those big old-fashioned apple presses and freezes the juice in bottled containers. Then he shares cider with all of his children and grandchildren at Christmas or whenever the urge strikes! My husband loves drinking the fresh cider while I enjoy it best in a hot mulled drink. I love to use it in several recipes made special for fall. Like these fritters!
What is a Fritter?
A fritter is simply food that has been dipped in a batter and deep fried. Like corn fritters, or recently I’ve been seeing lots of recipes for zucchini fritters.
When I think of apple fritters, however, I think of donuts. They’re sweet. Like a dessert. However, there is no yeast in the batter, so they don’t qualify as a donut. But still…cinnamon, sweet glaze, small pieces of apple, and my dad’s homemade apple cider. Oh my, and yes please!

Granny Smith apples
cornstarch
all-purpose flour
granulated sugar
baking powder
salt

butter
peanut oil for frying

powdered sugar
apple cider

Using a small pairing knife or peeling knife, peel, core, and slice apples into small pieces. Place in a medium sized bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Stir to coat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add apple cider, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk together until moistened. Gently, fold in apples.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees. Using a large serving spoon, heap portions of batter into hot oil. Press batter lightly with the back of spoon to flatten. Fry two or three at a time, keeping oil temperature between 325-350 degrees. Cook until the fritters turn a deep golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a wire rack. Repeat for remaining batter.
To make the glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Top each fritter with a spoonful of glaze while still warm.
