Apple Fritters
The perfect fall breakfast recipe!
Servings: 12 fritters
Ingredients
- canola oil, for frying
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup diced Granny Smith apple
- powdered sugar or cinnamon/sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in an electric skillet or stovetop pot until it reaches 375 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Gently stir into the dry ingredients. Fold in the diced apples.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the heated oil. Cook five minutes or until golden on each side.
- Remove the fritters to a stack of paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar while still warm (alternately, you can put them in a zip bag with the sugar and shake to combine).
Notes
- Nutritional information on this recipe is a bit of a rough estimate-- since it's not certain how much oil or sugar each fritter absorbs.
