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 made these for Hannukah this year and they were a big hit! I started making them after everyone was starting to arrive and... I couldn't keep up with how fast they were eating them. Delicious!Read more

I have no kitchen!!!

No fret apple fritters? really??! My kitchen caught on fire. This recipe should've included a warning that your house can... catch fire by boiling oil. I thought it would be helpful to share this with you. Have a happy holidays, because I will not.Read more

major hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I too used complete pancake mix and it was very easy, stuck to the apples well, and the coating browned beautifully. My... collage age kids and their friends requested this as a regular weekend treat. I added ground cinnamon to the powdered sugar and sifted over the hot fritters and it was amazing. I do believe having the oil hot enough is key in not soaking up to much of the oil while frying. Rachel Rocks!!Read more

Great recipe - with great potential
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Love-love-love the ease of making the batter however I found the flavor boring so I got creative. I added cinnamon, a... little maple syrup, brown sugar and a shot of french vanilla extract. I also fried mine in a blend of oil and butter flavor crisco. Serve them immediately with an amaretto cream sauce drizzle and they're decadent!Read more

Yum-o!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are delicious. I used Bisquick and it wouldn't stick. So, I made it really thick and loaded it on one side and put it... in the oil batter side down. Flipped it after a few minutes and voila! Open-faced apple fritters. I didn't have confectioners sugar either. Just sprinkled on granulated. So good. A good way to use up left over apples. Just don't make these before you make dinner. Ate too many of them.Read more
