Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 25 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 medium Apples (firm, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 liter Sunflower oil (or any neutral frying oil)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix in the milk. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Peel and core the apples. Slice them into 1 cm thick rings.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 175°C (350°F). You can use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
Step 5
Dip each apple ring into the batter, making sure it is fully coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in small batches, ensuring you don't overcrowd the pot.
Step 6
Fry each apple ring for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove each fritter and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and extra ground cinnamon together.
Step 8
Dust the apple fritters generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious Dutch Apple Fritters as a sweet snack or dessert!
