Buttermilk Apple Fritters Recipe

These cute little apple fritters are very similar to mini doughnuts but with the addition of grated and chopped apple. They’re soft, fruity little pillows tossed in cinnamon sugary goodness. I dare you to only eat one!

This recipe starts off with grating and finely chopping the apple. Squeeze a little lemon juice on to the apple to help prevent them going brown. Whisk together the dry ingredients to prevent any lumps. Next, you’re going to add the liquids and mix until a dough forms. Add in the apple and fold in.

Heat up your oil to around 170°c(350°f). Working quickly, fry off the batter in batches. Spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of batter in little lumps into the hot oil. Allow them to cook for 1-2 minutes then gently turn them to the other side. Cook for another 2 minutes until nicely coloured all over. I like to cook these in the oven for a further 5 minutes just to really ensure the middle is cooked. While the apple fritters are still hot, toss them in the cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately.
