I have another confession to make. I’m addicted to apple fritters, so much so that I can’t make them all that often. I’ve been known to wake up in the middle of the night, the fritters calling out to me in my dreams. Okay, I said earlier that if you don’t judge me, I won’t judge you. Anyway, these are quite lovely, either brushed with a simple vanilla glaze, a touch of powdered sugar, or even some apple butter spread across each bite, in case you’re in a particularly apple-flavored mood.
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄4 cup sugar (white)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄3 cup milk (2% or whole)
1 egg, beaten
1⁄2 cup chopped apple (something tart; I like Granny Smiths for this)
Directions
Preheat canola oil to 375°F.
Sift dry ingredients together, then stir in milk and beaten egg.
Fold in chopped apple, and then drop teaspoon of batter into the hot oil and repeat.
Flip after 2 minutes, and continue frying for 1 minute, or until golden.
Makes about a dozen small fritters
