1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the egg, milk, orange juice, butter, vanilla and orange zest; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the apples.
2. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
