Apple Fritters


Apple Fritters

2 cups all purpose flour
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups finely diced tart apples 

Vegetable Oil for Frying

Powdered sugar 
Apple Juice


Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside

In a small bowl mix together buttermilk and egg yolks and add to flour mixture. Stir just until mixed thoroughly.

Beat egg whites until stiff. 

Fold beaten egg whites gently into batter. 

Fold in finely diced apples.
















Heat oil in heavy pan then drop batter by a tablespoon into hot oil. Cook one side until golden brown then flip over and cook backside until golden. 


Remove hot fritters and allow to drain on rack with paper towels beneath. 


Now mix powdered sugar and apple juice in a small bowl until it is the consistency of thin icing.


Now dip warm fritter in icing flipping to coat both sides.


Return iced fritter to rack for any excess icing to drain and icing to set.


One very large wooden spoon to guard your fritters from marauding family members long enough to take pictures.

I hid some to enjoy with my morning coffee : )

  5. Your apple fritters look so good if I had been there it would have taken more than a wooden spoon to hold me off. Smile!! Glad you put the recipe in. I have been looking for a good apple fritter recipe and your looks just like the one I have been searching for.

  11. you don't say about how much powdered sugar you used to make enough icing to cover one batch of these? I had to go to the store and get the apples so I can make this for my family!

  15. This may be a silly question- Do you drop a few tablespoons on top of or near each other to make one fritter or is one heaping tablespoon enough to make one fritter? This is my first time frying! Thank you in advance.

  16. good question i was wondering the same thing.

  17. I have an odd question but in a household where greasy foods cause heartburn..can these be baked instead of fried?

  18. These look amazing!!! I am thinking of trying them this weekend!! I just need to get buttermilk. Have you ever done it with milk with lemon or vinegar? I can't wait to check out your other recipes!!!

  19. I"m not sure what I did wrong. The fritters fried up great and were crunchy. While hot, I dipped them in the glaze on both sides and let dry on the rack. After they dried though, the crunch was gone. They are very moist but the outsides are as well. They taste like spiced apple cake instead of the crunchy apple fritters I'm used to having. Any suggestions?

  20. I've been wanting these for quite sometime and finally got around to trying them today. I used wheat flour and used 2% milk instead and oh my gosh, they are really good. For those that have diet issues, this is the way to do it. they turned out light and fluffy, not heavy like you find in the bakery.

  21. For the icing/glaze I'll just mixed the powder sugar with 1 tablespoon of water instead of using apple juice because I don't like apple juice
