Introduction

Apple fritters are a delightful blend of sweet, spiced apples encased in a fluffy, golden batter, making them an irresistible treat any time of year! I first tried making apple fritters during a crisp autumn day, inspired by the abundance of fresh apples from the orchard. The warm aroma filling the kitchen as they cooked reminded me of childhood visits to my grandmother’s house, where she always had something sweet Baking in the oven. These fritters are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even dessert, and they can be easily adapted to be gluten-free or vegan!

Ingredients List

• 2 cups all-purpose Flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
• 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water)
• 2 cups fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Apples: Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small pieces.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Flour, Baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and both sugars until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk and egg (or flax egg) until blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
5. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry Fritters: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
7. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and let them drain on paper towels.
8. Dust with Sugar: Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
