Apple fritter bites are a delightful dessert or snack that combines the sweetness of apples with a crispy, fried coating. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the chopped apples gently.
- Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Fritter Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritter bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Once all fritter bites are fried and drained, dust them generously with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
- Enjoy: Serve the apple fritter bites warm as a delicious dessert or snack. They’re best enjoyed fresh and can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
These apple fritter bites are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with apple-cinnamon flavor. They’re perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with friends and family!
