Homemade Apple Fritter Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is an apple fritter made of? ›

Here's what you need: apples, flour, cinnamon, sugar, whole milk, butter, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Before you begin, add a couple of inches of canola oil to a pot or dutch oven, and heat it over medium to medium-low heat.

Why are my apple fritters soggy? This is most likely the result of oil temperature. If your oil is too cool, your fritters will take a long time to fry and will end up greasy.

Adding flour to a wetter batter will give you the thick consistency you want. Add crumbled stock cubes for a flavourful kick! Add as little or as much as you like (or none at all), depending on the flavour you want.

The overcooked exterior and undercooked interior indicates that your oil temperature is too high or your fritters are too large. You should be able to solve your problem by frying at a lower temperature and/or making the fritters smaller.

A fritter is a portion of meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, or other ingredients which have been battered or breaded, or just a portion of dough without further ingredients, that is deep-fried.

Is baking soda or powder best for frying? A pinch of baking soda can help produce crispy fried foods. It reacts with the acid in the batter to create carbon dioxide bubbles. These lead to an airy batter and a crisper, fluffier result.

So we use both to get the best of both worlds; Baking soda (bi-carb) OR baking powder – just a touch, to aerate the batter every so slightly (without it, it's slightly denser); Parmesan – for a good hit of savoury flavour AND to make the fritters extra crispy! Green onion and coriander – for a hit of freshness.

Apple Fritter

Apple fritters are among the unhealthiest doughnuts. Just because a doughnut has fruit it it doesn't mean it is a good choice. Apple fritters are deep fried in fat. A medium sized apple fritter contains approximately 17 grams of fat (almost half the fat from saturated fat) and 450 calories.

Alternatively, don't use them at all. The eggs are there with the flour to bind the fritters together, and to make the fritters rise a little, but they're not absolutely necessary where cheese will melt and act as binding.

Large eggs: Helps to bind the dough so it doesn't fall apart as it cooks. Melted butter: Use unsalted butter and allow it to cool first before adding it to the dough. You don't want it so hot that it starts to curdle the milk or cook the eggs!

Why are my apple fritters not crispy? ›

Best tips for apple fritters:

Use two spoons to drop the batter into the oil and spread gently. If you drop a scoop of batter into the oil, the outside will be crispy and the center will be raw. To make them really crispy, I prefer to fry them until they are dark brown not just golden brown.

You can make the batter up to 1 day ahead of time and store in the fridge. I've used this trick when I'm a bit short on time and know that I'll be needing to rush dinner the following night.

Apple fritters have the apple mixed into the batter, then they are fried. The thing that really separates donuts from fritters is the dough itself. Donuts, real quality donuts, are made from a yeast risen dough, similar to bread dough. Fritters are made from a chemically risen dough, usually baking powder.

The oil temperature is important!

I like to cook my Bourbon Apple Fritters at about 350°. If the oil is too hot, the outside will burn and the inside will be under-cooked. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb a lot of oil and will be greasy.

I would say yes. An apple fritter is a donut AND a pastry. To me, a donut is considered a pastry and I would consider an apple fritter a pastry. They all consist of fried dough.
