Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup milk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup chopped apple
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup purchased or prepared caramel sauce
1 tablespoon hot water, or more as needed
coarse sea salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add yeast mixture, milk, oil, and egg; stir until a soft dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes (dough will be sticky). Pat dough into an 8-inch square.
  • Toss together apple and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over 1/2 of the dough. Fold the side with no apples over the apples and knead until apples are dispersed, about 30 seconds. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper; set aside. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 pieces. Pat each portion of dough with floured hands into a 3- to 4-inch oval; fritters do not have to be uniformly shaped. Transfer fritters to the prepared parchment paper, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let stand until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place 2 to 3 fritters in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove cooked fritters to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven. Repeat with remaining fritters.
  • Whisk together caramel sauce and 1 tablespoon hot water, adding more water if necessary, to make a smooth drizzling consistency. Drizzle hot fritters with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt, allowing baking sheet to catch caramel drips and excess salt.

1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk and then whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Using the cookie cutters, cut each apple slice into rings, discarding the center core. Add 3 inches of oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Line a sheet tray with paper towels. When the oil reaches 350°F on your deep-fry thermometer, begin by dipping each apple slice in the batter, shaking off any excess then carefully lowering it into the oil. Add several apple slices to the oil but do not overcrowd the pot. Flip the apple slices occasionally so that they brown on all sides then using tongs, transfer them onto the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat the battering and frying process with the remaining apple rings. Serve the apple rings immediately with caramel sauce for dipping.

SUNNY'S APPLE FRITTERS WITH PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL SAUCE



Sunny's Apple Fritters with Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 15 to 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 to 3 scrapes of fresh nutmeg on a rasp
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
7 ounces beer (Coronita is the perfect size!)
Peanut oil, for deep frying
Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter

Steps:

  • Mix the wet: In a bowl, stir together the apples, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, allspice and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Mix the dry: In a large bowl, add flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Pull it together: Make a well in the center of the bowl of the dry ingredients and whisk in the beer until combined. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Gently fold in the apple mixture and let it rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Fry the fritters: In a large pot, bring oil temperature to 360 degrees F, so when adding the fritters, the temperature rests at 350 degrees F. Once the oil is ready, using a small ice cream scoop or large tablespoon, gently drop the dough into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 4 minutes total. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve with Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce.
  • Melt the sugar: In a saute pan over medium heat, add the brown sugar and allow it to melt while whisking.
  • Melt the butter: Once melted, add the butter and continuously whisk while melting until everything is smooth.
  • Add the cream: Turn off the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking until smooth. (Don't get hit with the splatter!)
  • Add the peanut butter: Add the peanut butter and turn the heat back on to low to help it melt into the caramel sauce while whisking for just under a minute. Remove from the heat, serve warm.

APPLE FRITTER RINGS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



APPLE FRITTER RINGS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE image

Categories     Appetizer     Dessert     Christmas     Apple     Fall     Spring     Summer     Winter

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 large apples, such as Fuji or Gala
Vegetable oil, for frying
Homemade or store-bought caramel sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk and then whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Using the cookie cutters, cut each apple slice into rings, discarding the center core. Add 3 inches of oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Line a sheet tray with paper towels. When the oil reaches 350°F on your deep-fry thermometer, begin by dipping each apple slice in the batter, shaking off any excess then carefully lowering it into the oil. Add several apple slices to the oil but do not overcrowd the pot. Flip the apple slices occasionally so that they brown on all sides then using tongs, transfer them onto the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat the battering and frying process with the remaining apple rings. Serve the apple rings immediately with caramel sauce for dipping. Kelly's Notes: You can coat the fried apple rings in cinnamon and sugar rather than serve them with caramel sauce. It's important to shake off as much excess batter as possible to ensure the apple rings fry quickly. The moisture in the apples results in the apple rings having a soft, pancake-like texture rather than a crunch.

Tips for Making Apple Fritter Rings with Caramel Sauce:

  • For perfectly round fritter rings, use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the centers of the apple slices before dipping them in the batter.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. If the pan is too crowded, the fritters will not cook evenly.
  • Allow the fritters to cool on a wire rack before glazing them with the caramel sauce. This will help the glaze to set.
  • For a richer, more decadent caramel sauce, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

Conclusion:

Apple fritter rings with caramel sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their crispy exteriors, tender interiors, and sweet, gooey caramel sauce, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give apple fritter rings with caramel sauce a try - you won't be disappointed!
