I am (carefully!) typing this while keeping an eye on the apple fritters I am making.
I had leftover apples and walnuts from a crisp that I was making and needed something to do with them, so I found this recipe:
Ingredients:
* 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/3 cup milk
* 1 egg
* 1 cup finely chopped apple
* 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Preparation:
Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add milk and egg; beat until batter is smooth. Fold in chopped apple. Drop by teaspoonfuls into deep hot oil — about 370° and at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches deep — and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, until nicely browned.
Drain well on paper towels then roll in confectioners’ sugar while still warm. Serve as is or warm, with syrup, if desired.
I thought the batter was a little thick, so I added more milk. I also thought that they were a little bland, so I added cinnamon to the batter. I also used a heaping 1/4 cup full of batter, and they turned out with a funky shape, but still taste awesome. They are a good thing to fry this week for Hanukkah. Oh, how I love fried food! But I know that it is bad for me, so I try not to eat it too often and I will try not to consume too much of it this week! Happy Hanukkah everyone! 😮
I think this one kinda looks like a (snow covered) person, or perhaps a teddy bear?(hmm…do you see it?):
I wish I could come over for a bit, hang out and eat some apple fritters with you while we light the menora.
Happy Hanukka!
These were very tasty, even when they weren’t super fresh. Reheating in the oven did wonders.
thanks, they definitely need to be reheated if they are not eaten right away.
