Homemade Apple Fritters

Homemade Apple Fritters

drizzled with honey, and served with homeamde vanilla bean gelato, picture property of Bonnie Parker

 

Ingredients:

1 heaping cup of flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

Dash of salt

1-2 tsp vanilla

¼ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tblsp butter, melted

1 egg

1/3 cup of milk + more if needed

1 ½ cups chopped apple, your favorite kind for eating, cut peanut sized or smaller

 

Oil for frying

Milk and powdered sugar glaze for dipping or just powdered sugar for dusting

(about 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tblsp milk or more if needed)

 

Directions:

1.        Mix all dry ingredients together, and slowly add the wet ingredients minus the apple.  Carefully mix until well combined but not over-mixed.  Gentle fold into apple pieces.  The batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix. 

2.       Once oil is ready, using a cookie scoop or soup spoon, place 4-5 balls of dough in the fryer.  Be careful not to crowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn golden brown, gently flip over and continue frying until done.  I cooked mine about 35 seconds per side, but they were roughly the size of a golf ball.

3.       Adjust cooking times based on size of fritters and temperature of your oil, ideally around 365 degrees F. It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting!

 

When they are done, you can drizzle glaze on them, or dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
