Apple Fritters Recipe
Today I have a fun and delicious recipe to share with you. Apple Fritters~
I love apple fritters and have wanted to try making them at home for a long time.
This recipe, to me, is more reminiscent of sugar donuts that I ate as a kid.
The apple fritters turned out great! Light, delicious and really easy to make, not at all like the apple fritters you can buy at the bakery.....which is a good thing for me because I absolutely love the apple fritters found at the bakery:)
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 2 T sugar
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/8 t salt

- 2 large egg whites
- 1 large tart cooking apple, finely chopped
- 1 cup low-fat milk or almond milk
- vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 t ground nutmeg
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, 2 T sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, combine egg whites, apple, and milk.
Add to flour mixture all at once and stir just until combined
In a deep 12-inch cast iron skillet, heat 1 inch vegetable oil over moderate high heat to 375 F
or until a 1-inch cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.
Carefully drop the batter by heaping tablespoons, several at a time, into hot oil.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
Using a slotted spoon or wire mesh ladle, remove and drain on paper towels.
In a paper or plastic bag, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and nutmeg. Add the hot fritters, several at a time, and shake to coat.
