Salted Honeycrisp Fritters
Description
This recipe starts with a batter combining flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Fresh peeled Honeycrisp apples are chopped and stirred into the batter, imparting moisture and fruity texture. Oil heated to about 350°F is used to fry portions of batter until golden and cooked through, usually 3 to 4 minutes per side with occasional flipping.
Once fried and drained, the fritters are dipped in a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, then sprinkled immediately with flaked sea salt to add a subtle salty contrast to the sweet glaze. The fritters are served warm, offering a combination of crispy edges, soft interior with tender apple pieces, and a creamy, sweet-salty finishing touch.
This sweet treat works well for breakfast or dessert and is adapted slightly from original allrecipes sources. The salt in the glaze highlights the natural sugars in the apples and batter, enhancing overall flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch nutmeg freshly ground
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups apple peeled and chopped
- vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying
glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- sea salt flaked, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Heat a few inches of oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. You want the oil to reach about 350 degrees Line a plate with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Stir the chopped apples into the batter.
- Once the oil is hot, drop ¼ cups of batter into the oil, only doing 1 or 2 at a time, and fry until golden on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure to flip the fritter once or twice. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on the paper towel to drain excess grease. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Once the fritters are all finished and slightly cool, dip them in the glaze. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with flaked salt. Serve!
glaze
- Whisk the sugar, vanilla and milk together until combined and smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it’s thin enough to dip the fritters.
Notes
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even frying and golden crispness.
- Flip fritters once or twice during frying to cook evenly on all sides.
- Dip fritters in glaze when slightly cooled, then immediately sprinkle with flaked salt.
- Use peeled Honeycrisp apples for balance of tartness and sweetness.
