Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or milk (plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Ingredients

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts, for added crunch
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) for vanilla cinnamon twist
  • Maple syrup, for glaze instead of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and finely dice the apples to ensure even cooking and seamless integration into the batter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour (or gluten-free blend), sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a flavorful, well-aerated base.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix with buttermilk or milk (or plant-based milk). Gradually stir this into the dry mixture until just combined to avoid tough fritters.
  4. Fold in the Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite is full of apple goodness.
  5. Heat the Oil and Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes per batch until golden brown, flipping once for even cooking.
  6. Drain and Cool: Transfer fritter bites to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar or serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture and flavor.
  • Mix batter until just combined; lumps are okay to keep fritters light and tender.
  • Maintain oil temperature using a thermometer to ensure crispy, not greasy fritters.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan; fry in batches to keep oil temperature steady.
  • Serve fritters warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
