Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce
  • 2 large Granny Smith or Honey Crisp apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • Canola oil for frying

For The Glaze

  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make Big Apple Fritters

  1. Place cooling racks over baking sheets covered in wax paper. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in medium bowl.
  3. Make a well in the center and add 1/3 cup milk, eggs, and applesauce.
  4. Stir just to combine.
  5. Fold in apples.
  6. Heat 1 ½ – 2 inches of oil in heavy cast iron skillet, Dutch oven, or deep fryer to 375°F.
  7. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter per fritter into hot oil; spreading it out as you drop.
  8. Cook each side until golden brown; approximately 2 minutes per side.
  9. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Make the Glaze

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla.
  2. Dunk each fritter in the glaze turning over to make sure both sides coated.
  3. Place on the wire racks to air dry and drip.

Notes

Be careful not to over-mix the batter as it may make the fritters tough.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying so the donuts cook evenly, and the oil temperature is easier to maintain.

Using a candy thermometer to maintain the correct temperature of the oil is important.

A Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet helps the oil hold temperature.

Try to maintain a constant temperature of 375° F. When you add the batter, the temperature will drop slightly – increase the heat a tad. Then, when you remove the fritters from the oil the temperature will increase so you will need to turn the heat down a bit.

Remove the fried fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil.

Store the cooled cooked fritters wrapped loosely in paper towels in a brown paper bag. This will keep them fresh longer.
