Seasonal fruit and vegetables are often cheaper to buy, last longer in your kitchen and taste better than out-of-season produce. Making the most of what’s in season works best when it’s paired with a bit of planning and smart storage in the kitchen. Apples and pears that have lost their crunch and have become floury are perfect for cooking — try making delicious, spiced apple fritters. Coat the fritters: Once the fritters are cooked, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still warm for a sweet, spicy finish. Serve and enjoy: These low-waste apple fritters are best served immediately, warm and crispy.
