Apple Fritters

Apple Fritters

One more recipe from Doughnut Days. These little fritters are fun because in the time it takes to heat up the oil you can mix up the batter. Ready to eat in 30 minutes or less. They are light and crispy. We rolled them in cinnamon sugar. They can also be rolled in powdered sugar. You can also use other fruits like pears or bananas in place of the apples.

Apple Fritters

2 c. flour

3 T. sugar

2 T. baking powder

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

1 c. milk

2 eggs, beaten

2 T. melted butter

2 c. diced apples

oil for frying- I used coconut oil

Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Mix together milk with the eggs and butter. Stir in dry ingredients until just moistened and stir in the apples. Heat oil to 375. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Don’t do more than 4-5 at a time. It will take about  4 minutes in total but you need to turn them to brown evenly so fry about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. While warm roll in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Makes about 32. Best served warm.
