Ree's Apple Fritters

Recipe Introduction


Mike requested apple fritters yesterday and the first recipe that Google came up with was this one. Since everything that I’ve ever made of hers has been wonderful, I decided to try them. They were fantastic and very easy. What a great fall snack. I ended up with some leftover diced apple, so I simmered them in apple cider and added some maple syrup. I topped the hot fritters with this and served them alongside sausage and eggs for a wonderful autumn breakfast.

List of Ingredients




2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Sugar
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
2 whole Large Eggs
3/4 cups Whole Milk
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
2 whole Granny Smith Apples, Peeled And Diced
Powdered Sugar (optional, For Dusting)


Recipe



In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, and then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry very gently, being careful not to over mix. Fold in the apples. You want a very chunky batter – you may need less than two whole apples, though.
In a deep pan, over medium heat bring 2 inches of oil to a temperature of about 350 – 360 degrees. This is your target temperature. You may have to adjust the heat to keep the oil temperature correct.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Using a 1 – 1 1/2 T. scoop, drop batter into the oil, a few at a time – do not crowd. As they start to float and brown, turn them over, if necessary (they sometimes do this on their own). They should cook about 2 – 2 1/2 minutes.

When done, remove from the oil and drain. Place them in the oven on a cooky pan with a rack in it while you are frying the rest of the fritters. When done and ready to serve dust generously with powdered sugar.

Serve IMMEDIATELY!

NOTE: If you want to make these ahead, just fry them and drain. Do not dust with powdered sugar. When you are ready to serve them, heat in a 350 degree oven for 8 minutes and then dust with sugar just before serving.
