MOM'S APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the milk, eggs and oil and stir until well blended. Mix in apples until they are evenly distributed.
• Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes depending on the size. Fry in smaller batches so they are not crowded. Remove from the hot oil using a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Toss with cinnamon sugar while still warm.

FRIED APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and 3/4 cup water in another bowl. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir to combine (batter will be lumpy).
• Heat about 4 inches oil in a medium cast-iron or heavy stockpot until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Dredge apple rings into flour, shaking off excess; then dip into batter. Working in small batches, fry, flipping once, until dark golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (Adjust heat between batches as needed to keep oil at a steady temperature.) Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

APPLE FRITTERS TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Add flour and baking powder and beat until smooth, lump free batter. Add cinnamon you if like it. Slowly pour in the milk and mix well.Let the batter rest while you're preparing apples.
• Using a vegetable peeler peel the skin and remove core of each apple with quick release apple corer. Once peeled, rub apples with lemon half to prevent from decoloring.
• Cut apples into ⅓ -¼ of an inch slices. Place in a bowl and drizzle with more lemon juice.
• In a deep pan preheat vegetable oil for frying to 350F. Measure it with a kitchen thermometer if you can.
• Dip apple rings into the batter letting go excess. Fry for a few minutes on each side until light golden brown. Transfer on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• Cut apples in cubes or pulse very quickly in food processor, mix into the batter. If the mixture seems too liquid add more flour passing it through the sieve to prevent lump formation.
• In a deep pan preheat vegetable oil for frying to 350F. You can measure it with a kitchen thermometer or do a test fritter. Drop a smaller ball of batter into the oil, if it starts to sizzle and rise to the top immediately, it's ready. The oil should not be smoking or burning. If it feels likes it is, lower the heat, wait a few minutes and do another test fritter.
• Using a tablespoon or even better a scoop take apple batter and drop it into Fry for a few minutes on each side until light golden brown. Discard fried apple patties on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• Place apple fritters on a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.As an alternative roll each apple fritter in regular sugar.
