🍎 Apple Fritter
An apple fritter is a sweet, fried pastry made with chunks of apple mixed into a dough or batter, then deep-fried and often glazed or dusted with powdered sugar. It’s a classic breakfast treat or dessert, soft inside with a slightly crisp outside.
🍽️ Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1–2 apples (peeled, cored, chopped into small cubes)
- Oil for frying
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the batter: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
- Add apples: Fold chopped apples into the batter.
- Heat oil: Use a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 175°C (350°F).
- Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil, fry until golden brown (about 2–3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
- Glaze (optional): Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm fritters.
🌟 Tips
- Use slightly tart apples like Granny Smith—they balance sweetness.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.
- Serve warm for soft, gooey insides.
