Apple Fritters
Servings 10 fritters
Apple Fritters are filled with warm cinnamon flavor, tender pieces of apple, and get finished off with a vanilla glaze! Ready to be eaten in only 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Apple Fritters:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, diced into ¼ inch pieces (2-3 cups)
- 3-4 cups canola oil or vegetable oil
Glaze:
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons whole milk
- powdered sugar optional topping
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set this aside.
- In a separate small bowl, gently beat the eggs and milk together. Pour this into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the apple pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large pot to 375°F. (I cannot stress this enough - don’t overheat the oil or the fritters will fry SO quickly and the outside and leave the inside gooey and uncooked.)
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter (try to flatten it out as you pour) into the hot oil. Depending on the thickness of your batter, you may want to flatten it out a little, so the fritter is not too thick. Allow to come to a golden brown (about 2 minutes) flip it and brown the other side. Do not crowd the pan.
- Remove each fritter as it is golden brown all over, to a plate lined with paper towels or a baking rack over a cookie sheet.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. You may want to add more or less milk than required to achieve your perfect consistency.
- Dip or drizzle glaze over each apple fritter then allow them to cool a bit. These should be enjoyed fresh.
Notes
- How To Store: Keep any leftover Apple Fritters in an airtight container. Then store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or 2 days at room temperature. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
- Substitutions:
- Granny Smith Apples – You could also use honey crisp apples.
- All-Purpose Flour – Substitute up to half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour.
- Milk – Instead of using milk to make the glaze you could use water but it will make for a slightly thinner glaze.
- White Sugar – Can also use the same amount of brown sugar for the dough instead of using white sugar.
- How Can I Reaheat The Apple Fritters? Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes. You may want to make a fresh batch of glaze to drizzle over the top once they come out of the oven.
- Can I Make This Recipe Using Other Fruit? Yes, you can! Trading in the apples for blueberries or peaches would make a delicious variation of this recipe! Just add 1-2 cups of diced fruit in place of the apples.
