So, I started off with this recipe. And they look NOTHING like the pictures there:
Seriously. These are my mutants. What do you think? Disgusting looking, right? lol. They taste delicious, though! Especially with a big glass of milk!
Some notes on this recipe:
Apple Fritters
1 c flour (heaping)
1/3 c sugar
1 t baking powder
dash salt
2 t cinnamon (less depending on how much you love cinnamon)
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 t vanilla
1 T butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 c milk + plus more if needed
1 c chopped apple, your favorite kind for eating, chopped peanut sized or smaller
oil for frying
For glaze
1 c milk
1 T powered sugar
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Slowly add the vanilla, butter, and egg. Finally, add milk as needed to make a smooth consistency, trying not to over mix. Gently fold in apple pieces. The batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix.
Once the oil is approximately 365° F or when a test drop of dough floats to the top of the oil, a drop of water sizzles, or a piece of white bread browns in 60 seconds, using a cookie scooper or soup spoon, place a 4-5 balls of dough into the oil.
Be careful not to overcrowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn golden brown, then gently flip over and continue frying until done.
I cooked mine about 35 seconds per side, but they were the size of golf balls – adjust cooking times based on size of fritters.
It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting.
Once cooled, coat fritters in glaze or just powered sugar.
Some notes on this recipe:
- If you don't have patience or are running out of time, start heating your oil while you are getting the batter ready (it can take a while to heat up)!
- Keep a lid which fits your pot handy in case of fire or flare-ups!
- ALWAYS use caution when deep frying food. Keep flammables away from the stove, don't let the kids help, use common sense!!!
- The set up I used was a medium sized sauce pan, filled 1/2 way with vegetable oil. I also employed the use of a candy thermometer (which goes up to 400° F). The setting on my stove was approximately Med-MedHi the entire time.
- I used a slotted spoon to remove the fritters to paper towel once they were done frying
- PLEASE!!! If you are not comfortable doing deep-frying, then DON'T! This is a delicious recipe, but I'd rather have you buy pre-made ones than burn down your house.
