{{ :recipes:applefritters-6_202_275628.jpg?direct&200|}} ====== Apple Fritters ====== /* Description */ Regardless of their variety or whether they were sliced or grated, the apples in our Apple Fritters exuded juice and produced soggy, undercooked interiors. We found that the best solution was to dry the apples with paper towels and mix them with the dry ingredients. The dry ingredients sucked up the moisture that would otherwise have leached out during frying. {(rater>id=100|name=Apple Fritters|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 10 servings|| |**Prep:** 0:15|**Wait:** 0:10|**Cook:** 0:20| ====== Ingredients ====== For the Fritters * 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1/3 cup granulated sugar * 1 tablespoon baking powder * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 3/4 cup apple cider * 2 large eggs, lightly beaten * 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted * 3 cups vegetable peanut oil * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the Glaze * 2 cups confectioners’ sugar * 1/4 cup apple cider * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon groud nutmeg ====== Directions ====== - Spread prepared apples in single layer on paper towel–lined baking sheet and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. - Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in large bowl. Whisk cider, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in medium bowl until combined. Stir apples into flour mixture. Stir in cider mixture until incorporated. - Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Use 1/3-cup measure to transfer 5 heaping portions of batter to oil. Press batter lightly with back of spoon to flatten. Fry, adjusting burner as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 325 and 350 degrees, until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to wire rack set inside rimmed baking sheet. Bring oil back to 350 degrees and repeat with remaining batter. Let fritters cool 5 minutes. - Meanwhile, whisk confectioners’ sugar, cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium bowl until smooth. Top each fritter with 1 heaping tablespoon glaze. Let glaze set 10 minutes. Serve. ====== Notes ====== We like Granny Smith apples in these fritters because they are tart and crisp. Apple juice doesn’t have enough flavor—you really do need the cider. Penzeys Extra Fancy Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon is the test kitchen’s favorite brand. /* Nutrition block - remove the slash-asterisk and asterisk-slash from just above and below the following block */ /* ====== Nutrition ====== |Calories (kcal): ||Fat Calories (kcal): |Cholesterol (mg): | |Fat (g): |Saturated Fat (g): |Mono Fat (g): |Poly Fat (g): | |Protein (g): |Carbohydrates (g): |Sodium (mg): |Fiber (g): | */ {{tag>Recipes Dessert/Crisp-Buckle American AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry}} /* Recipe Tags - Copy and paste tags from the list below to the tag list in the above line, replacing the "TagsNeeded" tag and separated by spaces. */ /* ---Recipe Types--- Appetizer Beverage Beverage/Cocktail Bread Bread/Muffin Bread/Quickbread Brines-Marinades-Rubs Breakfast Casserole Canning-Freezing Condiment CrockPot Dessert/Bar-Brownie Dessert/Cake Dessert/Cake/Frosting Dessert/Candy-Chocolate Dessert/Crisp-Buckle American AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry Dessert/Cookie Dessert/Custard-Curd Dessert/IceCream Dessert/IceCream/Topping Dessert/Pie Dip-Spread Entertaining Grilling-BBQ Holiday Kid-Friendly MainDish MainDish/Beef MainDish/Poultry MainDish/Pork MainDish/Seafood Pasta Pizza Roast Salad Salad/Dressing Sandwich Seasoning Side Snack Soup Stew-Braise Stir-Fry Vegetarian ---Recipe Cuisines--- American AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry American/Cajun-Creole American/Southern American/TexMex Asian Asian/Chinese Asian/Indian Asian/Japanese Asian/Korean Asian/Thai Asian/Vietnamese European European/Belgian European/Czech European/Dutch European/English European/French European/German European/Greek European/Polish European/Irish European/Italian European/Portuguese European/Russian European/Scandinavian European/Spanish European/Swiss Latin Latin/Brazilian Latin/Mexican MiddleEastern MiddleEastern/Ethiopian MiddleEastern/Jewish MiddleEastern/Lebanese ---Recipe Sources--- 365Recipes 365Recipes/Grilling 365Recipes/Chicken 365Recipes/Pasta AmericasTestKitchen AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry AmericasTestKitchen/CooksIllustrated BetterHomesGarden Bon Appetit Chowhound FineCooking FoodWine GoodEats Gourmet HDawson AMarcos DMarcos JMarcos KMarcos JPhalen ---Recipe Ratings--- 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1★ No★ ---Recipe Alerts--- RecipeNeeded RecipeIncomplete RecipeWrong RecipeFails TagsNeeded */ ~~DISCUSSION~~
