Apple Fritters With Calvados Glaze Recipes

GLAZED APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Filling: Using a paring knife, scrape out the vanilla seeds. Place half of the pod, half of the seeds, and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch skillet; set over medium-high heat. Cook until butter is bubbling. Add half of the apples; toss to coat. Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar; saute, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/2 cup cider; increase heat to high. Cook until liquid has been absorbed and apples start to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove and discard pod. Transfer apples to a baking sheet. Wash skillet, and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Dough: Place yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer. Heat milk in a pan over medium heat until warm to the touch. Pour milk over yeast; sprinkle 2 cups pastry flour on top. Set aside until flour begins to crack, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cider, butter, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, the remaining 1/4 cup pastry flour, and 1 cup bread flour; whisk to combine.
• Add flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Using the dough-hook attachment, mix on low speed 30 seconds. (The dough should look very soft but still have structure; if it appears liquidy, add remaining 2 tablespoons bread flour.) Increase speed to medium and mix dough 3 to 4 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl. Sift an even layer of pastry flour onto a clean work surface, and lightly flour your hands. Turn out dough, and gather into a ball. Transfer dough to oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking pan with flour, and line a second one with paper towels. Set both pans aside.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Using your hands, stretch the dough into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread half of the reserved apple mixture over dough, and fold dough, like a letter, into thirds. Pat down with your hand, forming another 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Spread the remaining apples over the dough, and fold into thirds again; the apples will be evenly distributed throughout the dough. Gather the dough into a ball, and return dough to oiled bowl. Re-cover, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size again, about 30 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface; pat into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out fritters as close together as possible, dipping cutter in flour before each cut. Transfer fritters to floured baking pan. Set aside to rest 10 minutes, but not longer.
• While dough rests, heat oil in a low-sided six-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375°F.
• Flour your hands. Lift a fritter, pulling the ends to make a 4-inch oval; carefully drop into oil. Repeat with two more pieces of dough. Cook until fritters begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, turn fritters over; cook until evenly browned, 2 minutes more. Transfer fritters to lined pan. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Coat fritters with white glaze. Transfer to a wire rack, and let glaze set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with sausage and bacon!

APPLE FRITTERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Make fritters:
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk eggs, then whisk in milk, melted butter, zest, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients into dry and fold until just combined (do not overmix), then fold in apples.
• Heat 3/4 inch of oil in a 10- to 12-inch deep heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Drop a little batter into the oil. If it bubbles and rises to the top, the oil is ready. If it browns immediately, reduce heat. (Or use a deep-fat/candy thermometer to heat oil until it registers 375°F.) Using two tablespoons (soup spoons), drop spoonfuls of batter, each containing 2 apple slices, into oil. Working in batches of 5, cook fritters, turning over halfway through, until golden brown, center is just cooked through, and apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Make sure oil returns to 375°F between batches.)
• Make glaze:
• Whisk together 1 cup confectioners' sugar with orange juice and vanilla until smooth.
• Dust fritters with some additional confectioners' sugar and drizzle glaze over fritters.

MOM'S APPLE FRITTERS

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the milk, eggs and oil and stir until well blended. Mix in apples until they are evenly distributed.
• Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes depending on the size. Fry in smaller batches so they are not crowded. Remove from the hot oil using a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Toss with cinnamon sugar while still warm.

APPLE FRITTERS WITH CALVADOS GLAZE

With a slotted spoon, remove to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. 4. Combine confectioners' sugar, cider and Calvados. While slightly warm, spread a heaping tbsp of the glaze over each fritter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

AIR FRYER APPLE FRITTERS WITH CIDER GLAZE RECIPE BY TASTY

Fry for 6 minutes, then flip, spritz with nonstick spray again, and cook for 4 minutes more, until crispy. Remove from the air fryer and repeat with the remaining batter.
