Apple Fritters

Apple Fritters

Today, I am frying things. Since you can use the oil over and over, I figured I would give some apple fritters a whirl before throwing away the oil. I miss doughnuts sometimes, or at least the option of eating them, so this recipe is an indulgent way to feel like you are eating doughnuts. The dough is tasty – its got a great texture, the apples give a little “meat” to the bite and the cinnamon compliments it all really well. They are cake-like with a crispy outside, and so good! Fried food tastes delicious in a way that only fried food can!

Mostly, these are pretty simple. You mix all of the ingredients in one bowl and then you fry them. I sometimes still get intimated by frying things, because I don’t do it often, so I didn’t mark this as “easy” but I still think these would work in a pinch if you needed something a bit different for hosting a brunch.

So it probably goes without saying for most things fried, but these are kid-approved. My daughter loved these! She is two and hand modeled for me at the prospect of getting one. I am proud of this picture like only a mother can be!

Enjoy these, I’ve got what is left in my freezer and am looking forward to toasting them up for future breakfast treats!

Instructions

  1. Melt butter or oil in a microwave safe mixing bowl, and then mix in the rest of the ingredients (other than the powdered maple sugar and the frying oil).
  2. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet until hot. Add small spoonfuls of the batter to the oil and fry for a minute or so on each side, or until golden brown (careful, hot oil!)
  3. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel to strain. Allow to cool.
  4. If using, pulse maple sugar in a coffee grinder and dust over fritters before serving.
