My mom made these for us after school in the fall with the apples we'd pick and buy from a fruit farm. Warm, crisp, and sweet, a perfect fall treat.

CHEF JOHN'S APPLE FRITTERS

I didn't think I liked apple fritters, but turns out I just don't like chunks of almost raw apple, surrounded by a doughnut. Maybe I've just been going to the wrong shops, but I've never enjoyed the texture, and always wanted to try them with cooked apples.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ cup sparkling apple cider
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
½ cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon sparkling apple cider, or as needed to make glaze

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.

Tips:

Choose the right apples. Use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
Make sure your oil is hot enough. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before you add the fritters. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters in batches so that they have room to float freely in the oil. If you overcrowd the pan, the fritters will stick together and not cook evenly.
Drain the fritters on paper towels. After the fritters are cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm. Apple fritters are best served fresh and warm. You can dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Apple fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these classic pastries in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try.
