Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the fritters tough.
- Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.
- Using a large spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop batter portions into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, turning once midway.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, drizzle the maple syrup generously over the fritters, allowing it to create a glossy, sweet glaze.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the crispy, sweet apple-filled fritters.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Use a cooking thermometer to maintain oil at exactly 375°F for perfectly crispy fritters • Don't overcrowd the pan - fry in small batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness • Pat apple pieces dry before adding to batter to prevent excess moisture • Let fritters drain on a wire rack to keep them crisp, not soggy • Serve warm for the ultimate texture and flavor experience • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to your batter • Use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results
