:: Homemade Apple Fritter Recipe ::
He loves apple fritters. The love of my life loves apple fritters… what can I say? He doesn’t ask for much. 🙂
We reserve frying for a rare treat – maybe once every few years. That’s not to say I don’t cook with butter and sauté a fair amount of our food in extra virgin olive oil, but frying – that’s a different story. I just try to avoid it or we’d be eating it all the time!
The dough comes together very simply. Nothing complicated. I’m not really experienced with frying but this recipe is very user-friendly. I will confess though… when I first made these I got a little greedy and dropped dough in amounts that were at least double what the recipe instructs. Learned my lesson well! The outside of the fritter got nice and dark brown but the insides weren’t cooked. I’m glad I checked instead of doing the whole recipe like that!
This will absolutely be the best tasting mess you ever make in your kitchen. haha! Glaze is an easy clean up – Don’t sweat the small stuff. Just seeing this picture makes me sad all over again that this last batch is gone.
So, there’s room enough for everyone’s cravings in our kitchen. And he certainly craves apple fritters. They were so delicious and how can you beat a treat made with love!!?? Store bought apple fritters have nothin’ on these plump little darlings. I’m thinking of some Italian Donuts next, but that would be another craving and another post.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups chopped apple
- Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp milk (add more slowly as needed for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon and blend dry ingredients well
- Stir in milk and eggs just until combined
- Fold in apples
- Heat oil on medium high in a deep skillet (depth of 1- 1 1/2 inch) until small amount of dough put in oil floats to the top
- Slowly add dough by heaping teaspoons (too much dough and your fritter will not cook in the center)
- Cook until brown, about 2 min
- Flip and cook another 1 to 2 min
- Transfer to paper towels
- While still warm, place fritters on a cooling rack
- Drizzle glaze and allow it to cool and harden then flip and glaze other side

Oh yum! I’m so scared of frying but those looks really good and I like the size of them.

I used to be the same way with Frying Elizabeth. It does take a little practice and just don’t use high. Drop and step back 🙂 These are so delicious its a great recipe to practice your frying skills because they fry quickly 🙂
Use a small ice cream scoop and they come out perfect and you don’t have to worry about getting burned because you can actually put the scoop down into the oil to release so it doesn’t drop and splatter hot oil on you.
That is a really great idea Kelly. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I have actually never had a fritter before, but I have to tell you how amazing those look. I want about a dozen of them right now!!

I’m diabetic and I love Apple Fritters when I found this recipe I changed the sugar to splenda and went very light on the glaze. They turned out great in fact I’m going to try raspberry.
That is such a great idea Kathy. I am so glad you like them and raspberry sounds delicious! Thank you so much for taking time to comment 🙂
