Old Fashioned Apple Fritters
Equipment
- Prep apples with a Zyliss apple corer
Ingredients
Fritter Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill fine crystal cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk powder
- 1/3 cup apple cider
- 1 large organic egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Taylor & Colledge vanilla paste
- 1 medium Envy apple peeled cored and finely chopped
Glaze ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon T&C vanilla paste
- 2-3 tablespoons apple cider
Instructions
- Stir together the flour, cane sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and buttermilk powder in a mixing bowl.
- Separately, whisk the apple cider with the egg, oil and vanilla paste.
- Fold in finely chopped apples.
- Heat vegetable oil several inches deep in a large skillet to 375F (use a candy thermometer to check and control the temp).
- Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil (I used that size of a cookie scoop) and fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through in the center (test the first one to be certain).
- Drain on paper toweling or a rack.
- Whisk up the glaze ingredients and toss fritters individually in the glaze, tapping lightly to remove excess.
- Let set up to dry on a wire rack.
