Apple fritters are a simple yet delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. These fritters combine the natural sweetness of grated apples with a fluffy batter, fried to golden perfection, and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Serve them warm and enjoy their comforting flavors!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium apples, peeled and grated
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (120ml) plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- A pinch of salt
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine grated apples, yogurt (or sour cream), egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Step 2: Fry the Fritters
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom (about 1/4 inch deep).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, spreading slightly to form small fritters.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 3: Serve
- Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a drizzle of honey on top.
- These fritters pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of vanilla yogurt.
Enjoy these quick, fluffy, and fruity fritters as a delightful way to use fresh apples in a comforting dish!
