Julies Apple Fritters Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-high heat and cook until it turns golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add apples and cook over medium-high heat until apples just begin to soften around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sugar and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain in a strainer; let cool to room temperature.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
• Whisk egg, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter together in a separate mixing bowl. Add cooled apple pieces and sparkling apple cider; add the flour mixture. Stir just until flour is incorporated.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter per fritter, into hot oil, slightly flattening them out. Cook in batches. Fry on one side until small bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip fritters over and fry the other side until richly browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain grease. Cool slightly before glazing.
• Whisk powdered sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Add enough apple cider, 1 teaspoon at a time, to form a smooth glaze that is just runny enough to drizzle over fritters.

• Heat some frying oil in a large pot over medium high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.

• Fold in the chopped apples.
• Using a mini scoop or two spoons, scoop the batter and drop into the oil.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drizzle with homemade caramel and enjoy!
• To make the caramel sauce, combine the water and sugar and cook over medium heat in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
• Once the sugar dissolves, keep a close eye on it, sugar burns quickly.
• Once it turns into a copper color remove it from the stove.
• Add the butter and heavy cream and mix until well incorporated.
• Once the caramel thickens nicely and is lump free transfer to a heat proof container.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into an electric skillet so that the bottom is well covered, about 1/8" deep. Depending on how fast you are, either turn the skillet on now or wait until you start on the apples. The oil should be at 375 degrees.
• Combine in a bowl the beaten egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and sour cream. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well.
• Peel apples, core and slice them into 1/4" slices. Dip slices in batter and carefully place in oil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove fritters and drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.
