Moki's Apple Fritters

 

12 oz Granny smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/4 inch pieces

2 cups all purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar (although you could sub brown sugar too

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3/4 cup apple cider (apple juice isn't a good substitute for this, according to the recipe author. Simply Apple is the liquid to use if fresh cider isn't available)

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons butter, melted

3 cups peanut oil

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup apple cider

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

 

1. Spread the apples in a single layer on paper towels, and pat dry.

2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk the cider, eggs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Stir the apples into the flour mixture and stir the wet ingredients until incorporated.

 

3. set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium high heat until it reaches 305 degrees (use a candy thermometer or instant read thermometer to check) Us a 1/3 cup measuring cup to carefully drop batter into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. Fry, adjusting the burner as necessary, to keep the oil between 325-350 degrees. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Carefully remove from the hot oil and allow to drain on the wire rack.

 

4. to make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, apple cider, cinnamon and nutmeg. When the fritters have cooled for 5 minutes, dip the top half of each fritter into the glaze and return to the cooling rack. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
