Apple fritters are a tasty snack that mixes the sweetness of apples with a crunchy fried batter. They’re great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, and go well with a cup of coffee or tea. The following is a recipe for Apple Fritters.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup milk – 1 large egg – 1 teaspoon vanilla essence – 2 medium peeled and diced apples – Vegetable oil for frying – Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling
- Combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing basin. Combine them thoroughly.
- Whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate dish until well blended.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients in a mixing dish and stir until just blended. Take care not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, making sure they are spread equally throughout the batter.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C) on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. If required, fry them in batches.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown. Halfway through, flip them over to achieve equal cooking.
- Transfer the fried fritters to a dish lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. This will aid in the removal of any surplus oil.
- While the fritters are still warm, generously dust them with confectioners’ sugar.
- For the finest flavor, serve the apple fritters while they are still fresh and warm. Enjoy!
Take care when working with heated oil and always follow proper safety precautions.
