Easy Crisp Apple Fritters Ingredients

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 2/3 cup of milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon of butter (melted)
• 2 egg whites
• 4 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4″ rings)
• 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
• canola or vegetable oil

How to Make Apple Fritters

Step 1:

In a medium bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, add the milk, egg yolk, and melted butter. Whisk well, then gradually add the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 3:

Pour 2 to 3 inches of oil into a large pot and place over medium/high heat. Heat the oil until it reaches 375F.

Step 4:

Place the 1/4″ thick apple rings into a shallow dish. Add the lemon juice and gently toss the apples to coat.

Step 5:

In a medium bowl, beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Make sure not to over beat. Transfer to the batter and gently fold until fully incorporated.

Step 6:

Remove apple sliced from the lemon juice, one at a time. Allow the excess juice to drip into the bowl, then dip both sides in the batter. Allow excess batter to drip.

Step 7:

Add the coated apple in hot oil and fry in batches in a single layer for about 2 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd them. Keep the oil above 350F while frying.

Step 8:

Using a strainer, remove the apple fritters, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar or coat both sides in cinnamon sugar mixture.
