INGREDIENTS:
Fritter:
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into small pieces
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of ground ginger
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1-2 packets Ruvi Clean
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. milk (this may vary depending on preferred consistency)
- Caramel sauce (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Peel and dice apples into small bite sized pieces, then add lemon juice. Set this bowl aside.
- In a large bowl add all dry ingredients and whisk well.
- To your dry ingredients add eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix well to combine into a slightly wet dough. Fold in your apples.
- Fill a sauce pan with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees.
- Using a measuring cup drop about 1/3 cup of batter into oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Mix up glaze and drizzle over each fritter. Add a caramel sauce drizzle as well for extra sweetness if preferred! Enjoy!
CHEF'S TIPS
- If you don't have a thermometer to test your oil temperature use the wooden spoon method. If you place a wooden spoon in your oil and it bubbles around it, it is ready! If it bubbles harshly it is too hot and you will want to cool the oil slightly.
- If you are unsure if your fritters are ready, insert a fork into the center and if it comes out clean, they are good to go!
Yields about 10 fritters
