Crispy, deep-fried little bites of quick bread with bits of apples in every bite and a cinnamon-sugar coating. Grandma Flo shared this recipe with me...many years ago.

Apple Fritters

Cinnamon-Sugar:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

 

Fritters:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

2 large eggs, slightly beaten

2/3 cup 2% milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tart green apples, peeled and shredded

Vegetable oil for frying

1. For Cinnamon-Sugar: Combine ingredients in a paper or plastic bag (or small bowl) and mix well; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl combine the eggs, milk and oil; mixing well. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in shredded apples.
4. Heat oil to medium-high heat (375°F | 190°C).
5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels then toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve immediately.

Makes about 20 fritters.
