Apple Fritters

Since it is apple season  I thought I would share one of my favorite apple recipes with you. Now, these are not those apple fritter things you get at the donut store. These are yummy, easy, delicious apple fritters that I grew up on. My dad used to make these for us on the weekends. The recipe was passed down from his grandmother. We eat them with jam and cinnamon at our house. Mmmmm.


Apple Fritters


1 1/3 cup flour


1 1/2 tsp. baking powder


1/4 tsp. salt


2/3 cup milk


1 egg, well beaten


Sift together flour, baking powder, & salt. Blend milk & egg, add gradually to dry ingred. Stir in fruit. Drop spoonful at a time into deep hot fat (365 to 375). Fry 2-5 min per side. Drain on paper towel.


You may use any type of fruit w/ this (apple is THE best) I usually use 2-3 large apples per batch.


Here is the original recipe card I have been using since childhood.

Now remember, this is a secret family recipe. It can be shared on a need-to-know-basis only


Blessings.

  1. And I thought this was OUR family's secret recipe! :) Love them with hot tea on a chilly fall evening. I've been making these with kefir and adding cinnamon right to the batter...

    Great pictures of the process!!!

  4. I made some last night for dinner (then decided we should have something else, too...) and dh and I ate almost all of them! Had a couple left for breakfast this morning. We put powdered sugar on them.
