In mixing bowl, combine beaten egg, milk, finely chopped apples, sugar, salt, orange peel, orange juice and vanilla. Stir together flour and baking powder; fold into egg mixture, stirring just until all of the flour is moistened. Drop batter by rounded teaspoons into deep hot fat (350 degrees). Fry until deep golden brown about 3 minutes, turning once. Drain fritters on paper towels, then roll in sifted powdered sugar. Serve warm. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
