Homemade Apple Fritters
Oh how I love Apple Fritters. I love a good doughnut shop that has fresh ones just put on the shelf. Here in Wyoming I haven't found one yet and when I came across this recipe at The Picky Apple, I had to make my own.
They were surprisingly easy! They cooked easy in the oil and the oil didn't pop which was a very good thing. It was all quite simple.
It didn't start out easy though. Rule #1 - Make sure you have ALL the ingredients BEFORE you start baking! I went to heat up the oil and I HAD NO OIL! Ugh, I was so mad because my husband has the car today and the closest place to walk would be the Dollar Tree. So I walked and walked and went to the Dollar Tree who NORMALLY has oil. Did they today?? Of course not! So I walked some more to Smith's, got my oil and headed back. I wore the wrong shoes and got blisters on my feet. I still made the Apple Fritters and they were delicious. Victory is mine!
Ingredients
Fritters
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/4 cup of Sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/3 cup of milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped apples
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1/2 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in milk and egg until combined. Fold in the apples. Pour oil into a skillet so it is about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat on high. Oil is ready when they float to the top. My skillet only let me put about 1 inch but they were fine. Carefully add dough to the oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown which will be about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer to paper towel for excess oil and then put on a cooling rack. Make glaze by mixing ingredients in a bowl until smooth and drizzle over the Apple Fritters. Wait about 3 minutes for the glaze to dry then flip over and do the other side. Best served warm.
I made a double batch and the kids loved them when they got home from school. I have some left over so we can heat them up for breakfast with a cold glass of milk. I actually might add a little bit more apples next time. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteDori,
ReplyDeleteJust made these for my boyfriend. He just kept saying 'oh my' the entire time haha. Thanks for sharing!
Ahhh Cassie, that makes me soooo happy. I love to hear when people love the recipes. Thanks so much for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteJust made these this morning and I did use extra apples. Most of my fritters turned themselves over when they needed to be browned on the other side. How could I make them next time to make the inside "light and airy" and the outside "crisp"? This was a great, EASY recipe! THANK YOU! ~Marie
