    Give us funnel cake, give us apple fritters... these are a few of our favorite treats--in moderation, of course.

    make apple fritters at home

    We eat so many sliced apples in our household that at a recent doctor appointment, the doctor even make a joke that my daughter shouldn't be needing to see a doctor because she is eating way more than an apple a day. Ah, if only that old adage were completely true!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 cups vegetable oil
    • 1 large egg slightly beaten
    • ½ cup milk
    • 1 cup sweet apple peeled, cored and chopped
    • 1 cup all purpose flour
    • ½ cup sugar + 1 tablespoon sugar divided
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon divided
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup strawberry or maple syrup

    Instructions
     

    • Place the 2 cups of canola oil into a deep fryer or heavy pan and allow to heat to 365 degrees.
    • Pour the milk into a bowl with the slightly beaten egg and whisk to combine.

    • Add the flour mixture to the egg and milk and blend until all the dry ingredients are just moistened.
    • Drop 3 to 4 teaspoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry 4 minutes, turning occasionally for even browning.
    • Remove the fritters when they are a golden brown with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
    • Continue deep frying in this manner being sure to allow the oil to return to the correct temperature before adding a new batch.
    • Place the remaining sugar and ¾ t of the cinnamon into a sealable plastic bag.
    • Add the fritters a couple at time.

        I made these following the recipe to the letter and they were crispy when they came out of the fryer but turned soggy soon afterward. What did I do wrong?
