Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Sift together the dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring an even distribution of flour, leavening agent, sweetener, seasoning, and aromatic spice.
- Whisk the liquid components in a separate container, creating a smooth emulsion of dairy, egg, and flavor enhancer.
- Gently incorporate the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to maintain a light texture. Carefully fold in the freshly cubed fruit, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare a deep cooking vessel with oil, heating to an optimal temperature for frying (around 350°F).
- Carefully drop small dollops of the fruited batter into the hot oil, allowing each bite to transform into a golden-brown delicacy.
- Extract the crispy morsels using a slotted utensil, transferring them to an absorbent surface to drain excess oil.
- Craft a sweet glaze by whisking powdered confectioner’s sugar with a splash of milk until silky and pourable.
- Generously drizzle the glossy glaze over the warm fritter bites, creating an irresistible finish that adds a delicate sweetness to the crisp exterior.
Notes
- Allow batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before frying to help ingredients meld and create a fluffier texture.
- Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best balance of sweetness and texture in fritter bites.
- Test oil temperature with a small drop of batter – it should sizzle and rise immediately without burning, indicating perfect frying heat around 350-375°F.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, ensuring same measurement proportions.
