Description
Sweet mini fritters made with apples and cinnamon, lightly fried and topped with sugar or glaze
Ingredients
- 1 cup all‑purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
- Oil for frying (vegetable or similar)
- Powdered sugar or glaze for finishing
Instructions
- Heat oil in a frying pan or pot over medium heat until it’s hot (but not smoking).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and mix with the milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; don’t overmix.
- Fold in the chopped apples into the batter.
- Drop small spoonfuls of batter (mini fritter‑sized) into the hot oil—only a few at a time so oil temperature remains steady.
- Fry until fritters are golden brown on one side, then flip and cook until the other side is golden; both sides should be crisp.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, optionally dust with powdered sugar or dip/drizzle with glaze.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
- Use apples that hold their shape when fried (e.g. Granny Smith or similar tart/sweet apple).
- Don’t overcrowd the frying pan, or the oil temperature will drop and fritters become greasy.
- Test oil by dropping a small bit of batter—if it sizzles and rises quickly, it’s ready.
- For variation, add nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- If you want a lighter version, these can sometimes be baked or shallow‑fried.
