EASY HOMEMADE APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Dice your apples, place in a bowl and add lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from browning.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk, vanilla, and cooled melted butter (don't add it hot, you'll cook your eggs!) Whisk together with a fork until it is all combined.
• In another medium sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
• Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well until a loose dough is formed. Fold in the apples.
• Fill a frying pan or sauce pan with about 3-4 cups of oil or so that you have about 3-4 inches of oil in your pan. Heat oil over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer or an instant read thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, use the wooden spoon test (see notes).
• Use a measuring cup to drop batter into oil, 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup. Fry until the outside is golden brown. Flip and fry other side until golden brown, for a total of about 4-5 minutes. You'll know they're done if you insert a small knife into the center and it comes clean. If not, fry a little longer so that the center is fully cooked. This time will depend on the size of your fritter.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack and let cool. Repeat with all the batter.

APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Stand the unpeeled apples upright on a board, and cut them vertically into 1/2-inch-thick slices, stopping when you reach the core. Pivot the apple, and cut again, until only the core remains. Discard the core, stack the apple slices, and cut them into 1/2-inch-wide sticks. You should have 4 cups. Stir the apple sticks into the batter.
• In a large, heavy skillet heat the oil to 375 degrees. When hot, pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan for each fritter, making four or five at a time. Using two forks, spread the batter so that it is not more than 1/2 inch thick. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until brown and crisp.
• Drain the fritters on paper towels, and transfer them to a rack. Sprinkle liberally with the sugar, and serve immediately.
