Easy Glazed Apple Fritter Recipe
Description
Easy Glazed Apple Fritter Recipe features small pieces of tart Granny Smith apples folded into a cinnamon-spiced batter. The batter is fried in oil heated to 350°F (180°C) to create fritters with a crisp, golden crust and a soft apple-filled interior. After frying, each fritter is quickly dipped into a vanilla glaze that coats the surface with a sweet, smooth layer. Maintaining the correct oil temperature is key to ensure the fritters cook thoroughly without absorbing excess oil or burning. The glaze adds an additional dimension of sweetness balancing the tartness and spice in the batter.
The method includes peeling, coring, and dicing apples into small chunks that cook quickly during frying. The batter is made by combining wet ingredients including eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla with dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, then folding in the apples. The fritters are fried until golden on each side and cooled on a wire rack before glazing. This process creates a fritter with a tender inside and crisp exterior that is enhanced by the vanilla glaze.
The recipe advises careful temperature control during frying and safety precautions when handling hot oil. These fritters work well as a sweet snack or dessert with a tender apple bite inside a cinnamon batter and a sugary glaze finishing touch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple Granny Smith, 8 oz/225 g
- 1 recipe vanilla donut glaze
- 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 large egg
- ⅓ cup (2 ½ fl oz/80ml) buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- vegetable oil for frying
Notes
- Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (180°C) to ensure fritters cook evenly without absorbing too much oil or burning.
- Use a candy thermometer for accurate oil heat monitoring and to improve frying results.
- Dice apples very finely so they cook quickly during frying without leaving raw chunks.
- A pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon) can be added to the batter to enhance flavors subtly.
- Exercise caution when frying by gently placing batter into the hot oil to avoid splashing and burns, and never leave hot oil unattended.
- Buttermilk can be substituted with a suitable alternative if needed.
