Homemade Apple Fritters

Homemade Apple Fritters

Oh how I love Apple Fritters. I love a good doughnut shop that has fresh ones just put on the shelf. Here in Wyoming I haven't found one yet and when I came across this recipe at The Picky Apple, I had to make my own. 

They were surprisingly easy!  They cooked easy in the oil and the oil didn't pop which was a very good thing. It was all quite simple. 

It didn't start out easy though. Rule #1 - Make sure you have ALL the ingredients BEFORE you start baking! I went to heat up the oil and I HAD NO OIL! Ugh, I was so mad because my husband has the car today and the closest place to walk would be the Dollar Tree. So I walked and walked and went to the Dollar Tree who NORMALLY has oil. Did they today?? Of course not! So I walked some more to Smith's, got my oil and headed back. I wore the wrong shoes and got blisters on my feet.  I still made the Apple Fritters and they were delicious. Victory is mine!

Ingredients

Fritters

1 cup of all purpose flour

1/4 cup of Sugar

3/4 teaspoon of salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/3 cup of milk

1 egg

1 cup chopped apples

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons milk

1/2 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in milk and egg until combined. Fold in the apples. Pour oil into a skillet so it is about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat on high. Oil is ready when they float to the top. My skillet only let me put about 1 inch but they were fine. Carefully add dough to the oil in heaping teaspoons.  Cook until brown which will be about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer to paper towel for excess oil and then put on a cooling rack. Make glaze by mixing ingredients in a bowl until smooth and drizzle over the Apple Fritters. Wait about 3 minutes for the glaze to dry then flip over and do the other side. Best served warm. 

I made a double batch and the kids loved them when they got home from school. I have some left over so we can heat them up for breakfast with a cold glass of milk. I actually might add a little bit more apples next time. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

Thanks for stopping by!
