Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (8 oz/225 g) Granny Smith apples
  • 1 recipe Vanilla Donut glaze
  • 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup (2 ½ fl oz/80ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Notes

  • A candy thermometer is super useful for this recipe. Be sure to keep the oil at 350°F (180oC). If it is too hot, the fritters won’t fry properly. If it is too cold, they’ll absorb too much oil and get soggy.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt (roughly ⅛ tsp) to the batter.
  • Make sure to cut the apples very small so that they cook in the short time they are frying.
  • Use my Buttermilk Substitute if you don’t have any to hand.
  • Oil is HOT when frying! Make sure you stay safe: place donuts carefully in the hot oil to avoid splash burns, watch carefully to make sure that the oil doesn’t start to smoke, and never walk away from oil heating on the stove! If you are a child making this recipe, make sure to get an adult’s help!
