In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, sugar and baking soda. Set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together egg, milk, and melted butter. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Set aside.

Core, peel and finely chop the apples. Mix the apples in to the dough.

Heat a large frying pan on medium high heat. When the pan is hot add 1 Tablespoon of butter.

When butter is melted, drop scoops of the dough on to the pan. Spread the batter out a little bit so the fritter is a bit flat. Cook on one side for about 5 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook until the dough around the edges is cooked and the fritter is cooked through. This will take between 5-10 additional minutes - just be sure not to burn them.

Serve immediately with powdered sugar, icing, or plain.
