Here’s a tasty recipe for Apple Fritter Bites, perfect for a quick snack or dessert!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and finely dice the apples. Toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
2. Make the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
3. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep pan or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Fritter Bites:
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook each fritter bite for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Drain and Cool:
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Glaze the Fritter Bites:
- Once the fritter bites have cooled slightly, dip or drizzle them with the glaze. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
These Apple Fritter Bites are crispy on the outside and filled with sweet apple goodness inside. Perfect for fall or any time you want a delicious treat!
