My mom made these for us after school in the fall with the apples we'd pick and buy from a fruit farm. They warm, crisp, and sweet, a perfect fall treat.

This small, sweet fried doughnut has an indent in the center, rather than a hole. It's then covered with powdered sugar and filled with whipped cream. Add a few sprinkles or sugars for a decorative touch.

Strawberry Fritters with Chocolate Sauce

This is a very creative take on beignets, a classic French dessert recipe. In this recipe, fresh strawberries are coated with batter and fried, beignet-style. These will make your mouth water, they are so good. You will love the combination of airy, crisp pastry, with lightly cooked fresh strawberries, and rich chocolate sauce.

Just four ingredients are all you'll need for this sure-to-be-popular treat sent in by Ginny Watson of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Friends and family will never guess that a tube of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits are the base for these golden, jelly-filled doughnuts. TIP: Vary the flavor by using different jams.
