Ingredients
Scale
Fritter Batter
- 2 Honeycrisp Apples, diced
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk
- Vegetable Oil, for frying
Variations
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon or Nutmeg (spiced version)
- Gluten-free flour blend (for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed Meal + 2.5 tablespoons Water (vegan option)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (for cheesy fritters)
- 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (for nutty addition)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Begin by washing and peeling the Honeycrisp apples. Core and dice them into small cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized for easy eating.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Mix until fully combined, creating a wet mixture to add to the dry ingredients.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, then fold in the diced Honeycrisp apples, being careful not to overmix.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about two inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. You can test the oil’s readiness by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop batter into the hot oil, frying a few fritters at a time. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Drain and Cool: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing too much can make the fritters tough; stir until just combined.
- Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep an eye on the oil temperature; it should remain hot enough for frying without smoking.
- Use a Candy Thermometer: This will help you monitor the oil’s temperature accurately for perfect frying.
- Batch Frying: Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature.
- Experiment with Toppings: Try drizzling with honey or maple syrup for an added touch of sweetness.
