Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Amish-style apple fritters:Ingredients:
For the fritters:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups finely diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick.
- Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Dip each fritter into the glaze, coating it evenly, then place it back on the plate to allow the glaze to set.
- Serve the apple fritters warm and enjoy!
