Apple Fritters for Breakfast?

I woke up early Sunday morning and the house was silent. I looked at the time...it wasn't that early but everyone seemed to be snoozing well. Strange thing in my house. Usually at least one other person is up when I am.

Anyway, my sister is still here until today and I wanted sort of a special kind of breakfast. One that she and her husband would never have. Then I remember what I had seen the other day in Starbuck's! A great big huge, honkin' Apple Fritter. I just knew I had to make them!!!! I didn't want the big ones just the nice tiny little balls all covered with some sweet and gooey icing sugar. This was a wonderful surprise for everyone as they woke up to fresh coffee and homemade apple fritters. Sunday's don't get much better than that do they?

They were delicious and I will be making these again and again. They came together real quick and were not a fussy donut. They were not a yeast donut but not heavy and cakey at all! I want to try them with some whole wheat flout the next time I make them so will let you know how they turn out then. Until then this recipe will do!!!


Apple Fritters (From The Picky Apple)

Fritter:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup chopped apple
Glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Directions: Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple. Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep. Heat oil on high. Oil is ready when dough floats to top. Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side. Best served warm.
I am submitting this to BYOB (Bake Your Own Bread) hosted by Sandy of At the Baker's Bench. This is a great challenge to get you baking more of your own baked goods. Better for you and cheaper in the process!
As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

    When I was in elementary school, my dad would take me to this homey restaurant for breakfast every Wednesday before school/work, and I always got apple fritters. Theirs were perfectly round, golden brown, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The restaurant closed down by the time I was in high school, and on early mornings I still sometimes miss those fritters...

    Thanks reminding me. And for posting the recipe! :)

    I don't know if anyone already said it, but try slipping a slice of sharp cheddar into the middle of one of those puppies.

    Not sure if I'd have these for brekkie but this would be a fine dessert, with coffee, dusted cinnamon and sugar.

    I will!

    I can't think of an occasion when I would turn down down an apple fritter, or any fritter for that matter.

    I must tell you I LOVED them, very light and good texture/ chew at the same time :) also loved how fast and easy it is, whipped em up in 10 minutes, and fried em like in 5 pretty quick for a nice breakfast, snack or dessert. Thanks for sharing :)

    I made these yesterday and came back to see if anyone else noticed that 1-1/2T of milk w/ 2C of powdered sugar, wasn't enough milk?

    I had to add a little over 1/3C of milk to get it to "drizzle".

    Don't get me wrong...they were fantastic...yum!
