Apple Fritters Recipe
These apple fritters are a delightful blend of crispy and tender, featuring Fuji apples combined with warm spices for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fuji Apples, diced, peeled, and cored
- 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ½ cup Whole Milk
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3-4 cups Canola Oil
- 2 cups Confectioners' Sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons Milk or Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. In one bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined. Create a well in the center, then add milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold the apples into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
- Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop and carefully lower the batter into the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain and cool. Whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon for the glaze. Dip the cooled fritters in the glaze and serve.
Notes
- Aim for a smooth but thick batter.
- Keep an eye on the oil temperature to avoid burning.
- Dice apples finely for even cooking.
- Adjust spices to taste.
- Generously glaze fritters.
