Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup diced apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup milk (100 ml)
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Incorporate milk and egg into the dry mixture, whisking until a uniform, lump-free batter forms.
- Gently fold diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Prepare a deep skillet or fryer with oil, heating to 350°F for optimal frying temperature.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, carefully drop batter portions into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry the bites for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a uniform golden-brown color and crispy exterior.
- Remove fritter bites with a slotted spoon, transferring to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Create a smooth glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until no lumps remain.
- Drizzle the glossy glaze generously over the warm fritter bites, allowing it to cascade and set slightly before serving.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, enjoying the warm, crispy apple-studded treats.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature stays around 350°F for consistent golden-brown fritters without burning.
- Pat apple pieces dry before adding to batter to prevent excess moisture and soggy texture.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour for a lighter bite.
- Try different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for varied sweetness and texture.
