Apple Fritters Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Fritters:
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (about 2 medium apples) peeled, cored, and diced
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
• For the Glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fritter Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
   • Fold in the diced apples.
2. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Fritters:
   • Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Make the Glaze (optional):
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters, or dip the fritters into the glaze to coat.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the apple fritters warm. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated if needed.

Tips

• Apples: Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a good balance of tartness and sweetness.
• Glaze: Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
