A Favorite Fall Donut
We love donuts at our house (we are officially obsessed with our Homemade Donuts and Old Fashioned Donuts), and were thrilled to add another favorite pastry to the list – today’s apple fritter recipe! These apple fritters have tender apple chunks encased in a fluffy batter, then fried to perfection and topped cinnamon and sugar. They are AMAZING! Perfect for breakfast or a sweet dessert, these golden-brown morsels are filled with fall flavors and go great with a serving of Apple Cider Recipe or Hot Chocolate.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 15 minutes
1-quart vegetable oil, for deep frying – or another oil with a high smoking point like canola oil or peanut oil. 1½ cups all-purpose flour – How to Measure Flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ⅔ cup milk – whole milk is my favorite to use, but 2% can also be used 2 large eggs, beaten – room temperature eggs incorporate better than cold eggs. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil – or canola oil 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped – Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious apples, or a combination of tart Granny Smith apples with a sweeter apple. Dice the apples into bite-size pieces about ¼-⅓ inch thick. 1 cup cinnamon-sugar – or drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze.
