Some of the most incredible warm handmade treats are these Big Apple Fritters. They can be created quickly using simple, at-home ingredients. Just one of them would take less than twenty minutes to create from scratch. However, it is not even the finest part. This recipe’s greatest asset is its incredibly tantalizing flavor; it’s a sweet treat, after all.

INGREDIENTS :
These Big Apple Fritters require the following items:
Amount of all-purpose flour needed: 3 cups
1 1/2 cups of sugar
Baking Powder, 3 Tablespoons
1/2 tsp salt 3/4 tsp Apple Pie Spice
To make a long story short, I have 2 big eggs
1-cup milk
Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons of softened butter
apples, 1 1/2 cups, diced, peeled
Food-grade oil for frying
Sugar used in baking and sweets
You should know that the quantities of components listed above are only enough for roughly four (4) servings. Making more will require some adjustments to the recipe. However, it’s not as simple as just adding one extra cup of all-purpose flour or a few more cups of chopped apples. Every single one of the components needs to be scaled up accordingly. It’s not hard to accomplish, but we know how stressful cooking can be, especially if it’s your first time, so if you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know in the comments below and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
EQUIPMENTS:
The following items are recommended for this dish but are not strictly necessary:
A heavy, deep pot (like a Dutch oven) with a temperature control mechanism. (An electric skillet or deep fryer might also work.)
Combine in a mixer (preferably an automated one)
To strain through a mesh (for your flour and other dry ingredients)
Cups for measuring (different sizes, or just one or two well calibrated ones)
There’s just room for one big kettle
Towels, paper (for draining)
To be thorough, let’s also include the many pots, pans, and spoons that inevitably end up in the dish washer after every meal.
DIRECTIONS :
Before you begin preparing any of our recipes, we always provide this helpful suggestion: wipe off your stove and sink, and remove any unnecessary items from your countertops. Cleaning up your act helps you feel better in more ways than one, including physically and mentally. The nicest part, though, is the extra room it gives you on the counter to do things like measure out your ingredients into individual ceramic bowls, just like they do on the cooking shows.
Go ahead and do that, and when it comes time to lay out your ingredients, be sure to do so one by one. In other words, you shouldn’t combine any of them until instructed to do so by the recipe.
How prepared do you feel?
Relax, and let’s get started!
To prepare, fill a deep pan or Dutch oven with oil to a depth of about 3 inches.
Bring temperature to 375°F.
(You’re preheating the oil now because all three inches of it need to be extremely hot before you begin frying. After all, the technique is referred to as “deep frying.”
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and Apple Pie Spice.
(Many recipes that call for flour skip the step of sifting the ingredients. Sifting the flour and the other dry ingredients before using them is a crucial step that should not be skipped. Plus, it aids in the collection of any remaining impurities in the flour.
Beat the eggs gently in a separate basin.
(One of the best cooking tips ever is to separate the eggs while they are being broken. In this recipe, the eggs are not broken into the dish with the rest of the ingredients as is customary in several others. Besides, under those circumstances, how could you possibly win? And what if one of the eggs is defective?
Combine the milk and vanilla extract, then stir.
(In this recipe, this is an integral element of the seasoning process. Still another detail that might be handled differently in alternative recipes. However, a general guideline of baking is to combine liquids with liquids and dry ingredients with dry materials. It’s a great tool for making sure everything fits together smoothly.
Using a well made in the center, pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients.
Substitute the butter for the water and mix on low speed for about half a minute to moisten.
After 2 more minutes of mixing on medium speed, scrape down the bowl’s sides.
(While this is happening, you should probably check the oil to make sure it hasn’t heated up to over 375 degrees.
Just what strategy do you have in mind for this? We have no idea.
But if the oil seems to be becoming too hot and there is a lot of smoke rising to the surface, you may want to take action. If everything is okay though, continue. (We’re getting close.)
Apples should be incorporated into the mixture (into the mix inside the mixer.)
Measure out a quarter cup’s worth of batter and carefully put it into the heated oil.
Take care not to splatter the hot oil on oneself.
You might only be able to cook one at a time if your pot isn’t too deep at the top. The cooked fritters will rise to the top of the pan. After one side is done, flip them with a spatula so the other side can get browned.
Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then quickly coat in glaze (or confectioners’ sugar, your preference).
Glaze can be made by whisking together confectioners’ sugar and milk or water and using it while it is still warm.
Prepare, share, and relish the meal!
