Vanilla & Cinnamon-Kissed Apple Latkes

Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the orange juice, milk, eggs and vanilla until blended; fold in apples.
3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
