Homemade Apple Fritters
Report
Juicy chunks of apple, coated in batter and shallow fried, these homemade apple fritters are a tender, delicious apple breakfast treat that are also incredibly simple to make. They’re topped off with an addictive but simple icing which takes them to a whole ‘nother level.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Add the salt and sugar and whisk it all together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla until frothy.
- Fold the flour mixture into the eggs, followed by the milk.
- Add the apples and fold through to combine. Careful not to over mix.
- Cover a baking tray with paper towel and place a wire rack on top.
- In a medium skillet, pour in enough oil to be 1/4 inch deep. Heat it over medium heat - it is hot enough when you dip the end of a wooden spoon in and it starts to bubble after a couple of seconds.
- Place 1/4 cup of batter into the hot oil, 3-4 at a time (don’t overcrowd the pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes until dark golden, then turn and cook on the other side a further 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer to the wire rack and let them cool a few minutes while you make the glaze.
- To make the glaze, soft the powdered sugar into a small bowl, then add the water a little at a time until you have a runny glaze.
- Dip the tops of the fritters into the glaze, then turn glaze side up back on the wire rack for another couple of minutes.
Notes
- Don’t be tempted to cook them quicker or the outside may burn before the inside is cooked through. If this is happening, turn the heat down and let the temperature drop a little before adding more batter.
- Apple fritters are best eaten fresh but if necessary can be reheated in the oven - 350F for 10-15 minutes.
