Sweet Apple Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-high heat and cook until it turns golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add apples and cook over medium-high heat until apples just begin to soften around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sugar and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain in a strainer; let cool to room temperature.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
• Whisk egg, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter together in a separate mixing bowl. Add cooled apple pieces and sparkling apple cider; add the flour mixture. Stir just until flour is incorporated.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter per fritter, into hot oil, slightly flattening them out. Cook in batches. Fry on one side until small bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip fritters over and fry the other side until richly browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain grease. Cool slightly before glazing.
• Whisk powdered sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Add enough apple cider, 1 teaspoon at a time, to form a smooth glaze that is just runny enough to drizzle over fritters.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat eggs with milk, salt and sugar.
• Add flour and baking powder to egg mixture and mix until smooth.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Peel and core apples.
• Slice 1/4 to 1/2" thick so that they are shaped liked doughnuts with the core hole in the center of each slice.
• Squeeze lemon juice over apples.
• Heat oil in large skillet.
• Dip apples in batter and let excess drip off, then brown on each side in skillet.
• Lay on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until soft.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Pour in the cider and vanilla extract, and whisk to make a smooth batter.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Pour enough oil into a heavy-bottomed soup pot so it comes about a third of the way up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 360 degrees F.
• Peel, core and slice the apples into rounds, about 1/3-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow bowl. Working in batches, dust the apple slices in the flour, then dip in the batter to evenly coat. Carefully add to the oil. Fry, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat the process until all of the apples are cooked, allowing the oil to return to 360 degrees F between batches.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
