These apple Fritters are an easy crowd pleaser, whether your crowd is a few or a few dozen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 firm, medium-sized baking apples
- Canola oil for deep frying
- Sugar and cinnamon
Directions
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into 1/2-inch dice.
- Mix together flour and sugar in a deep bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour, and break the eggs into it. Beat the eggs in the well with a sturdy spoon, gradually working outwards into the flour. When the eggs are well beaten, add the buttermilk, milk, and baking soda into the well, and continue stirring, gradually increasing the size of the well until finally no dry flour is left. Stir diced apples into the batter.
- Heat oil in a cast iron Dutch Oven or other deep pan, and when the oil is hot enough to brown a cube of bread in a minute, drop the batter into the oil in large spoonfuls — no more than 2 tablespoons each. Fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and drain on paper toweling. Roll hot fritters in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
