Homemade Apple Cinnamon Fritters - My Dad's Favourite
I love homemade apple cinnamon fritters. I love the way these fried apple donuts smell while they cook. Knowing how to make apple fritters means you can make them often. My dad loves old fashioned fritters and these are the best fried apple fritters!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 Tsp. baking powder
- 1 Tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 Cup milk
- 2 apples Granny Smith, peeled, cored, diced into ¼ inch pieces
- 3-4 Cups canola oil
Glaze
- 1 1/2 Cup icing sugar
- 1 Tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp. milk
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set this aside.
- In a separate small bowl, gently beat the eggs and milk together. Pour this into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the apple pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F. (I cannot stress this enough - don’t overheat the oil or the fritters will fry SO quickly and the outside and leave the inside gooey and uncooked.)
- Drop the batter (try to flatten it out as you pour) by heaping spoonful into the hot oil. Depending on the thickness of your batter, you may want to flatten it out a little, so the fritter is not too thick. Allow to come to a golden brown (about 2 minutes) flip it and brown the other side. Do not crowd the pan.
- Remove each fritter as it is golden brown all over, to a plate lined with paper towels or a baking rack over a cookie sheet.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. You may want to add more or less milk than required to achieve your perfect consistency.
- Dip or drizzle glaze over each apple fritter then allow them to cool a bit.
