Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients for Fritters:
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 large Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 Tbsp white sugar
- 1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 c sparkling apple cider
- 2 c vegetable oil for frying
Ingredients for Glaze:
- 2 C confectioners sugar, or more as needed
- 2–3 Tbsp sparkling apple cider, or as needed to make glaze
Instructions
- Peel, core & dice apples into 1/4 inch pieces
- 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 (if needed); 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. Enjoy!
