1 Video | Photo: Nothin' to Fret about Apple Fritters Recipe
I learned of this fabulous, easy fruit fritter method from my friend Rene. After trying it out at home, she became my good friend Rene. Many thanks!
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 apples, Red or Golden Delicious or, 2 of each
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (1 wedge will do)
- 2 cups complete pancake mix, any brand
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or equivalent of freshly grated
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
Heat 1-inch vegetable oil on moderate to medium high heat. If you wish to test the oil, add a 1-inch cube of bread to hot oil. If it turns deep golden brown in color in a count of 40, the oil is ready.
Core apples with an apple corer. Cut into 1/4-inch thick slices across, forming apple rings. Sprinkle sliced apples with the juice of a wedge of lemon to prevent browning.
Mix together pancake mix and water, season with nutmeg. Place confectioners' sugar in a sifter or a tea strainer. Place a piece of cardboard or brown paper sack on a work surface for draining fritters. Working in small batches of 5 to 6 slices, coat rings of apple in batter, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until evenly golden brown. Transfer to paper bag or towels to drain. When all the fritters are cooked, let oil cool before discarding.
Top fritters with confectioners' sugar and transfer to a serving platter.

I enjoyed making this for a first time item. This receipe was easy and close to what my family was asking for. Reading reviews before I began gave me ideas to enhance flavors. I used the apple juice suggested by Origenal Hertic instead of water, which did bring more flavor. Used nutmeg only due to a family member cannot have cinn. After the first batch, we tasted and added 1 cap of almond extract. That perked up the flavor, yet did not overpower. We also preferred to dice the apples, just a personal preference.
