Apple Fritters
Golden brown and bursting with fresh apples, the perfect treat for fall!
Equipment
- 1 kitchen thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- canola oil for frying
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel and core the apples. Dice the apples and toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture in a shallow bowl and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk and vanilla. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then, fold in the apples.
- Heat at least 1 inch of oil in a heavy bottomed pan or Dutch oven. There should be enough oil for the fritters to float. Monitor the temperature with a kitchen thermometer until it reaches 350F degrees.
- Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with a slotted spoon. Fry until golden on both sides, flipping as needed.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a wire cooling rack.
- To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled fritters.
