Ingredients
Scale
Doughnut Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Fruit
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
For Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter consistency without lumps.
- Add apples: Fold the finely chopped apples gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Heat oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), suitable for frying.
- Fry doughnuts: Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter with apples into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain and cool: Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent to avoid greasy or undercooked fritters.
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith for best texture and flavor.
- Serve warm for optimal taste and crispiness.
- You can dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired.
