Imagine biting into a warm, fluffy doughnut-like treat, filled with sweet, tender apples, and topped with a glaze that just makes everything pop. That’s exactly what you’ll get when you whip up a batch of our Big Apple Fritters. These fritters are an indulgent way to enjoy the flavors of fresh apples wrapped in a crispy, golden exterior.

Big Apple Fritters were born out of the desire to celebrate the humble apple in a whole new delicious way. Reminiscent of the apple fritters you might find at a classic American donut shop or an autumn country fair, these homemade fritters offer the perfect blend of sweet, fruity, and slightly spiced flavors.

Creating Big Apple Fritters is a fun and rewarding process. The fritter batter is made with fresh apples and classic baking ingredients, then fried until golden brown and glazed with a simple powdered sugar glaze. They’re perfect for breakfast, dessert, or even as a sweet snack throughout the day.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).

Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate.

While the fritters cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.

Big Apple Fritters are a decadent treat that celebrates the comforting flavors of apples and cinnamon in a delightfully crispy package. They’re perfect for impressing guests at a brunch or simply making a weekend morning a little more special. So gather your ingredients and get ready to fall in love with these irresistible fritters.

Please remember to be cautious when working with hot oil, and adjust cooking times based on your stove and the products you use. Enjoy the process of creating these delectable Big Apple Fritters!
