Apple season is in full swing as people head to orchards for apple picking and markets are overcome with local varieties. Load up on these red and green fruits so you can make baked apples, apple-pumpkin butter, caramel-dipped apples, harvest apple cake and these deliciously simple fritters.
Apple Fritters
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until smooth. Fold in apples.
- Heat oil to 375°F. Using a small scoop (about 2 Tablespoons), carefully drop about 6 fritters at a time into the preheated oil. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Turn for even browning on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners sugar. Serve warm.
Notes
These apple fritters are light, fluffy and delicious. We make them in a deep fryer to ensure a crispy, even coating and a soft interior. Serve these as an appetizer or a delicious, seasonal dessert.
UMMM GOOD
I can’t tell you how good these are. I hope you’ll make them!
Can you use an oil free air fryer to make these
Linda, no can’t use an oil-free air fryer. According to the Test Kitchen, the batter forms its shape when it hits the hot oil. So it needs to be surrounded by hot oil to cook, just like the batter for donuts. Hope this helps, thanks!
