Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled, diced apples (any crisp variety)
- Oil for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar or glaze
Glaze (optional):
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- A drop of vanilla
structions:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour wet into dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Fold in the chopped apples.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 175°C (350°F). Use a small spoon or scoop to drop batter gently into the hot oil.
Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly.
Dust with powdered sugar or dip in the glaze while still warm.
Tips:
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a flavor pop.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches.
- Glaze them while warm so it sets beautifully.
FAQs:
Q: Can I bake them instead?
A: You can, but they won’t have the same crisp texture. Try 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes in a mini muffin tin.
Q: How long do they stay fresh?
A: Best enjoyed the same day, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Yes! Freeze unglazed fritters, then reheat and glaze before serving.
