BIG APPLE FRITTERS — DON’T LOSE THIS RECIPE 😋
These Big Apple Fritters are the kind of old-fashioned comfort that makes you stop everything and savor every bite. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, packed with juicy apples and that warm cinnamon flavor we all love. Perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning, or as a sweet treat after dinner.
When I first made these, the smell alone had everyone running to the kitchen — even the neighbors asked what I was baking! 🤭 They taste just like the ones from an old-fashioned bakery — golden brown, slightly crispy, and loaded with chunks of tender apple. If you’ve never made fritters before, don’t worry. This recipe is simple and foolproof.
✨ Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best!)
Oil for frying
Optional glaze:
Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and a drop of vanilla extract.
🍏 Instructions
1️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2️⃣ In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until moistened — don’t overmix!
3️⃣ Fold in diced apples until evenly coated.
4️⃣ Heat oil (about 350°F / 175°C) in a deep pan. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides — about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5️⃣ Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly.
6️⃣ Drizzle with glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
💬 Tip: For extra crunch, add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter!
🥰 The best part? These fritters stay soft inside even after cooling, and that cinnamon-apple combo is pure nostalgia in every bite. Perfect for weekends, holidays, or anytime you crave something cozy and homemade.
