Homemade Apple Fritter Bites

You might have seen our Apple Sauce Recipe we made last week after our annual apple picking trip. Well, we still have apples left over! In an effort to use the apples to make something absolutely delicious, I decided to test a small batch of Apple Fritter bites to see what the general consensus was - I will definitely be making them again!

APPLE FRITTER BITES

makes about a dozen

vegetable oil

3/4 cups flour

1/8 granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/3 cup milk

1 egg beaten

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tbsp. butter, melted

1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, & cubed

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup milk

Directions:

Heat oil in pan or fryer to 350F. I used a non-stick pan and about 1/4 inch of oil. Mix dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon) and set aside. In another bowl, add eggs lightly beaten. Add vanilla and milk to the eggs and lightly whisk together. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, fold it gently until not quite combined, then add in melted butter and mix. Fold in cubed, peeled apples into the batter.

Add 1 tablespoon of batter into the heated oil. Once golden brown remove from the oil and set on paper towel to drain. 

Dip, or drizzle, fritters into the glaze while still warm.
