Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled and finely diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Glaze

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting or glazing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Apples: Peel and finely dice your fresh apples into small chunks to ensure each bite is packed with fruity goodness without getting lost in the batter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute spices and leavening agent for consistent flavor and rise.
  3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. This adds moisture and richness that make the fritters tender and flavorful.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and avoid toughness.
  5. Fold in the Apple Pieces: Gently fold diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated and well distributed for bursts of flavor in every bite.
  6. Heat the Oil and Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat (around 350°F). Once hot, drop rounded spoonfuls of batter carefully into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping as needed to cook evenly on all sides (about 4 to 6 minutes per batch).
  7. Drain and Glaze: Remove fritter bites with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels. Once slightly cooled, optionally dip or dust with powdered sugar glaze for an extra sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to cook fritters evenly without burning.
  • Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady and fritters crispy.
  • Fry a test fritter first to check oil temperature and batter consistency.
  • Serve apple fritter bites warm for optimal flavor and texture.
