Julies Apple Fritters Recipes

JULIE'S APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into an electric skillet so that the bottom is well covered, about 1/8" deep. Depending on how fast you are, either turn the skillet on now or wait until you start on the apples. The oil should be at 375 degrees.
• Combine in a bowl the beaten egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and sour cream. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well.
• Peel apples, core and slice them into 1/4" slices. Dip slices in batter and carefully place in oil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove fritters and drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.

APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat some frying oil in a large pot over medium high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
• Add the all purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and mix until well combined.
• Fold in the chopped apples.
• Using a mini scoop or two spoons, scoop the batter and drop into the oil.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drizzle with homemade caramel and enjoy!
• To make the caramel sauce, combine the water and sugar and cook over medium heat in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
• Once the sugar dissolves, keep a close eye on it, sugar burns quickly.
• Once it turns into a copper color remove it from the stove.
• Add the butter and heavy cream and mix until well incorporated.
• Once the caramel thickens nicely and is lump free transfer to a heat proof container.

AIR-FRYER APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Line air-fryer basket with parchment (cut to fit); spritz with cooking spray. Preheat air fryer to 410°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add milk, eggs, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; stir just until moistened. Fold in apples. In batches, drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2-in. apart onto air-fryer basket. Spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Turn fritters; continue to air-fry until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully cook until butter starts to brown and foam, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to browned butter; whisk until smooth. Drizzle over fritters before serving.
