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.

There's an easy way to jazz up this recipe. Dice apples instead of making rings. Mix the diced apples in with the batter. Use 1 and 1/2 cups of apple juice in place of the water for better taste. Also, add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and up the nutmeg to 1 tablespoon as well. I also use 3 and 1/2 cups of pancake mix because I like a thicker batter.

My teenager made these for brunch on a snow day, and they were delicious! He made them with bisquick and it will stick if you pat the apples dry first. Very festive. We ate ours with maple syrup.

I made this recipe with no problem; however, I did not like the taste. I had these at a Restaurant in Spain and the batter was much more refined and the fritter was a bit sweeter.
