All-purpose flour
You’ll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour to provide structure and texture to the fritters. Make sure to use fresh and high-quality flour for the best results.
Baking powder
This leavening agent will help your fritters rise and give them a light, airy texture. Use 1 teaspoon of baking powder for every 2 cups of flour.

A pinch of salt enhances the flavors in the apples and dough. Use 1/4 teaspoon of salt to balance out the sweetness.
Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to balance the tartness of the apples.
Sugar, brown
1 tablespoon of brown sugar adds a deep, rich flavor and aroma to your apple fritters. It also helps create a crispy exterior.
- Vegetable oil: For frying the fritters, you’ll need enough vegetable oil to cover them completely. Choose a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point, such as peanut or canola oil.
- Eggs:You will need 2 large eggs to bind the ingredients together and add moisture to your apple fritters.

23 apples, peeled and sliced (preferably a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
To make these delicious apple fritters, you’ll need a variety of ingredients that work together to create a sweet and crunchy dessert.
Main Ingredients
- 23 apples, peeled and sliced (preferably a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
The type of apple you choose is crucial in achieving the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Some good options include:
- Granny Smith (tart)
- Golden Delicious (sweet)
- Braeburn (a mix of sweet and tart)
Syrup Ingredients
You’ll also need the following ingredients to make the syrup that coats the fritters:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
This syrup is what gives the fritters their signature flavor and aroma. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but keep in mind that the syrup will thicken as it cools.
Fritter Batter
The batter for these fritters consists of:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
This batter is what holds the apple slices together and gives them a crispy coating. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but keep in mind that the fritters will be sweeter if you use more sugar.
1 cup allpurpose flour
All-purpose flour is a staple ingredient in baking, particularly when it comes to creating tender and delicate treats like mom’s famous apple fritters. The recipe calls for 1 cup of all-purpose flour, which may seem like a small amount but plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect balance of texture and flavor.
When choosing all-purpose flour, look for a brand that is unbleached and unbromated to ensure the best possible results. Bleaching or bromating can affect the nutritional value and taste of the flour. Additionally, opt for a high-quality flour with a neutral pH level to prevent any off-flavors in your baked goods.
All-purpose flour contains essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and minerals that contribute to the overall structure and texture of baked goods. In the context of mom’s apple fritters recipe, 1 cup of all-purpose flour is used to create a delicate batter that will coat each piece of fruit evenly, ensuring a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
The type of flour used can also impact the final texture of your apple fritters. All-purpose flour has a moderate protein content (around 10-12%), which makes it suitable for both bread-making and delicate pastries like fritters. The protein in all-purpose flour will help create a tender crumb while maintaining its structure during frying.
When working with all-purpose flour, it’s essential to store it properly to maintain its quality and shelf life. Store the flour in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent moisture from seeping in. This will help keep your flour fresh for an extended period and ensure that you get the best results when baking mom’s apple fritters.
Lastly, be aware of the different types of all-purpose flour available on the market. Some common varieties include cake flour, pastry flour, and bread flour. Each type has a unique protein content and texture that suits specific recipes. For this particular recipe, cake flour or pastry flour would work well in place of regular all-purpose flour due to its finer texture and higher starch content.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
The first ingredient required for Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe is 1/2 cup granulated sugar, which serves as a crucial component to balance out the sweetness and tartness of the apples.
Granulated sugar, also known as table sugar or white sugar, is a type of sucrose that is commonly used in baking due to its fine texture and quick dissolving properties.
In this particular recipe, the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar is called for to combine with other ingredients such as cinnamon, nutmeg, all-purpose flour, and beaten eggs to create a sweet and spicy batter that complements the juicy apples.
The use of granulated sugar in baking provides sweetness, tenderness, and texture to the finished product, while also serving as an antibacterial agent to help preserve the dough.
When working with granulated sugar, it’s essential to note that its crystalline structure can make it prone to clumping if exposed to moisture or heat, which may affect the texture of the final product.
To ensure optimal results when using granulated sugar in baking, it’s recommended to store it in a cool and dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture sources.
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
The key to creating an authentic flavor in Mom’s Apple Fritters recipe lies in using the right ingredients, starting with the ground cinnamon. A common spice found in most kitchens, ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth to baked goods like apple fritters.
When it comes to measuring out the ground cinnamon for this recipe, a quarter of a teaspoon is called for. This may seem like a small amount, but trust that it will provide just the right balance of flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
The ground cinnamon used in this recipe should be freshly ground or of high-quality store-bought variety to ensure optimal flavor and aroma. Avoid using stale or old spices as they can impart unpleasant flavors to the apple fritters.
It’s worth noting that the type of cinnamon used can also affect the final result. Ceylon cinnamon, for instance, has a more delicate flavor profile compared to cassia cinnamon which is bolder and sweeter.
In this recipe, the 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon plays a supporting role to the other ingredients like Granny Smith apples, sugar, flour, and spices. As the apple fritters bake in hot oil, the cinnamon will melt into the dough, infusing it with its characteristic warmth and inviting aroma.
The combination of sugar, flour, eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon creates a delightful sweet and savory flavor profile that complements the crunchy exterior and fluffy interior of the apple fritters.
When using ground cinnamon in this recipe, be sure to mix it well with other dry ingredients like flour and spices before adding them to the wet ingredients. This ensures even distribution of flavors throughout the dough.
By incorporating 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon into Mom’s Apple Fritters recipe, you’ll create a sweet treat that’s both authentic and tantalizingly flavorful. The delicate warmth provided by this spice will balance out the sweetness of the apples and sugar, making each bite truly delightful.
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
The ingredients for Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe include a variety of sweet and savory components that come together to create a delicious dessert. The core ingredient, of course, is the apple – typically 3-4 Granny Smith apples are used for their tartness and firm texture.
Along with the sliced apples, the recipe calls for granulated sugar to provide a touch of sweetness, white flour as a thickening agent, baking powder to aid in rising, salt to balance out flavors, ground cinnamon to add warmth and spice, nutmeg to complement the apple flavor, and ground cloves to enhance the overall aroma.
In terms of fat content, butter is used for frying the fritters until they are golden brown, while milk adds moisture and helps to bind the ingredients together. Eggs provide additional richness and structure to the fritter batter.
A pinch of salt enhances the flavors in the recipe and balances out the sweetness from the sugar. Nutmeg specifically adds a warm, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with apples – 1/4 teaspoon is used as it’s enough to complement but not overpower the apple taste.
1/4 teaspoon salt
The ingredients for this delightful treat are as follows:
To begin with, we need to prepare the sweet and crunchy fritter batter. The main ingredients include 2-3 apples, peeled and sliced into thin pieces, which will provide the natural sweetness and texture.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout.
We also need to add a pinch of salt to balance out the flavors. Specifically, we require 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt to bring out the sweetness of the apples and prevent the fritters from becoming too sweet.
Now let’s move on to the wet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of whole milk until well combined.
To this mixture, we need to add 1 large egg, beaten lightly with a fork to ensure it’s fully incorporated into the batter.
Now, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in dense fritters.
We’re getting close now! To add some extra flavor and texture, we’ll also require 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly.
Lastly, gently fold in the sliced apples into the batter, making sure not to overmix at this stage either. This will ensure that our fritters retain their delicate texture and juicy apple chunks.
The remaining ingredients are straightforward: 1 cup of vegetable oil for frying and confectioners’ sugar for dusting (optional). With these simple yet essential ingredients, we’re ready to create Mom’s delicious Apple Fritters Recipe!
1/2 cup butter, melted
The ingredients for Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe are carefully selected to bring out the best flavors and textures of this classic dessert.
Cake Ingredients
For the cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- Cake Flour: 1 1/2 cups
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon
- Nutmeg: 1/8 teaspoon
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup
- Brown Sugar: 2 tablespoons
- Large Eggs: 1
- Butter, melted: 1/2 cup (see below)
Melting the Butter
To melt the butter for this recipe, you will need to carefully heat it until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
The amount of time required to melt the butter will depend on your personal preference regarding its texture. However, as a general rule of thumb, 1/2 cup of butter should take around 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt when heated in the microwave or over low heat in a saucepan.
Melting Butter in the Microwave
To melt the butter using the microwave method, simply place it in the microwave-safe bowl and cook for 10-15 second intervals until smooth and creamy. Make sure to remove the bowl from the microwave every 10 seconds to check on its consistency.
Melting Butter on the Stovetop
To melt the butter using the stovetop method, simply place it in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth and creamy, making sure not to let the butter burn or turn brown.
1 egg, beaten
The first ingredient for this Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe is 1 egg, beaten. This means that you need to crack open a single large egg and whisk it vigorously with a fork until its contents are fully broken down and have reached a smooth consistency.
To beat the egg effectively, start by cracking it into a small bowl or ramekin. Then, use the tines of your fork to gently scramble the yolk and then proceed to break up any visible strings of white that form on top. Continue whisking until the mixture is fully incorporated and there are no signs of unbroken or clumped egg particles.
When beating an egg for this recipe, it’s not necessary to whip it into a froth or beat in as much air as possible. A smooth and relatively flat consistency is all that’s needed. In fact, over-beating the egg can lead to unwanted effects, such as incorporating too much air which may cause the batter to become overly puffy or difficult to work with.
Once your egg is properly beaten, you can set it aside until needed for further preparation. This will typically involve combining the beaten egg with additional ingredients in the recipe to form a cohesive batter for frying the apple fritters.
Confectioners’ sugar (optional)
The ingredients used to make confectioners’ sugar, also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar, vary depending on the desired texture and flavor. The most common ingredient in confectioners’ sugar is sucrose, which is extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets.
Sucrose is ground into a fine powder through a process called milling, which involves grinding the crystals of sucrose into smaller particles. This process can be done mechanically using roller mills or ball mills, or it can be done chemically using acid to break down the sucrose molecules.
The resulting confectioners’ sugar has a smooth and powdery texture that is free from lumps and imperfections. It has a sweet flavor that is characteristic of sugar, but it can also have a slightly acidic taste due to the presence of citric acid or other additives.
There are several types of confectioners’ sugar available in the market, each with its own unique characteristics and uses:
Superfine powdered sugar
This is the finest and most powdery type of confectioners’ sugar. It is used for dusting pastries and desserts to prevent them from sticking together.
Confectioners’ granulated sugar
This is a slightly coarser type of confectioners’ sugar that is still finely ground but has a more textured appearance. It is often used in baking and cooking to add sweetness and texture.
Decorating sugar
This is a specialized type of confectioners’ sugar that is designed for decorating cakes and pastries. It is often colored with food dyes or mixed with other ingredients to create different colors and textures.
In the context of Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe, confectioners’ sugar is used as a topping to add sweetness and texture to the warm fritters. It can also be used to dust the apple slices before frying them for added flavor and texture.
The ingredients used in this classic dessert are quite straightforward yet crucial to achieving that perfect blend of sweet and crispy textures.
Fresh Apples
The primary ingredient, these Granny Smith apples bring a delightful tartness that balances out the sweetness of the sugar and cinnamon.
All-Purpose Flour
This pantry staple provides structure and texture to the fritters, helping them hold their shape while still maintaining an airy interior.
Baking Powder
As a leavening agent, this ingredient helps to release carbon dioxide gas bubbles within the dough, giving it a light and fluffy appearance.
Granulated Sugar
Adding a sweet touch to the fritters, this sugar is also essential for creating that perfect caramelized crust when deep-frying.
Ground Cinnamon
A pinch of warm cinnamon adds an inviting aroma and complements the sweetness of the apples beautifully.
Powdered Sugar
This dusting of powdered sugar provides a delightful textural contrast to the crispy fritters while adding a touch of sweetness.
Vegetable Oil or Shortening
Used for frying, this oil adds crunch to the outside of the fritters and helps to seal in their tender interior.
Confectioners’ Sugar Glaze (optional): For an extra layer of sweetness, this glaze can be applied after the fritters have cooled slightly, adding a sticky and indulgent touch.
Instructions
Cooking the Apples
To cook the apples for Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe, follow these steps:
First, peel and slice four to six tart apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the sliced apples with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
As the apples cook, they will release their juice and start to caramelize. Stir them frequently to prevent burning.
If you notice that the apples are drying out or becoming too dark, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
Once the apples are tender and caramelized, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
The cooked apple mixture will be soft and lightly browned. It’s now ready to be used in Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe.
Remember to handle the cooked apples gently when mixing them with the other ingredients, as they can become quite tender and fragile.
By following these steps, you’ll have perfectly cooked apples for your Apple Fritters. Enjoy!
The instructions for making mom’s apple fritters recipe are an essential part of the cooking process, as they guide you through each step to achieve the perfect dessert.
To begin with, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is a crucial initial step that sets the stage for the rest of the preparation.
Mix together in a large bowl one cup of all-purpose flour and two teaspoons of baking powder. Make sure to sift or whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any lumps, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
In another bowl, beat three eggs with a fork until they are well combined. Gradually add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and continue beating until it is fully incorporated.
Melt two tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add one-quarter cup of granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until dissolved, forming a smooth syrup.
Combine the beaten eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder in the same bowl as before. Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to form an even batter.
Add one-third cup of apple cider vinegar to the saucepan containing the butter and sugar syrup. Stir continuously over medium heat until the syrup thickens slightly, reducing its consistency.
Now it’s time to assemble the fritters by pouring 1/2 tablespoon of batter onto a greased skillet or griddle set over medium heat. Tilt the skillet to coat evenly with the batter and cook for two minutes on each side until golden brown.
For serving, place warm apple fritter in the center of an individual plate. Sprinkle cinnamon powder around the edges of the plate, along with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
This detailed instruction ensures that you end up with delicious and crispy apple fritters, just like mom used to make.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
To successfully execute this crucial step in Mom’s beloved Apple Fritters Recipe, it is essential to carefully follow the instructions regarding the melting of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter – This precise measurement is vital as it ensures the perfect balance between sweetness and savory flavors in the final product. The use of unsalted or salted butter will also have an impact, so be sure to choose one that complements the other ingredients in the recipe.
Skillet Selection: Choose a skillet that has a non-stick coating, as this will prevent the fritters from sticking and make them easier to flip. Stainless steel or cast iron skillets also work well, but be prepared for a bit more maintenance when cleaning up.
Middle of Medium Heat – The term “medium” is often subjective, so here’s a helpful tip: Place your hand above the skillet to gauge the temperature. If you can keep it there for 2-3 seconds without discomfort, then it’s ready. This will help you achieve the perfect doneness for your butter.
Let it melt evenly – Make sure that the butter is distributed uniformly across the surface of the skillet. You may need to tilt or rotate the pan gently to ensure an even melting process. A nice golden-brown hue should develop, signifying that your butter has reached perfection.
Patience, patience, patience: As the butter melts and begins to foam slightly, you will start to notice a rich aroma emanating from the skillet. This is the moment when all the flavors come together – don’t rush it!
Once melted and evenly heated, proceed with adding the sliced apples (about 1 cup) according to the recipe’s instructions. The butter will serve as the foundation upon which the delicate flavors of the apple fritters are built.
Add the sliced apples and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
When it comes to cooking with instructions, clarity and precision are key to achieving the desired outcome.
In this case, the instruction “Add the sliced apples and cook until tender, stirring occasionally” provides a clear direction on what to do next in preparing Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe.
The use of specific language, such as “add,” “cook,” and “stirring occasionally,” helps to ensure that the person following the recipe understands exactly what actions to take.
Adding sliced apples is a crucial step in creating the fritters, as it provides the necessary sweetness and texture. By specifying which ingredients to add, the instruction helps to prevent any confusion or mistakes during the cooking process.
Cooking until tender requires attention to detail, as overcooking can result in an unpleasant texture. The inclusion of “stirring occasionally” reminds the person cooking to periodically check on the apples and adjust their heat accordingly.

In order to successfully execute the instructions for making Mom’s Apple Fritters Recipe, it is essential to have a clear understanding of what each step entails and why it is crucial in producing an end product that is not only delicious but also visually appealing.
First and foremost, let us begin with the preparation phase, which involves gathering all the necessary ingredients, tools, and equipment. This includes Granny Smith apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, eggs, butter or oil for frying, and powdered sugar for dusting. It is vital to ensure that all the ingredients are fresh and of high quality, as this will directly impact the final result.
The next step involves peeling and slicing the apples into thin pieces, making sure not to cut too close to the core, which can make them tough and unpleasant to eat. This process requires patience and attention to detail, as it is essential to achieve uniform slices for even cooking.
Once the apples are prepared, they need to be combined with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl, ensuring that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The addition of sugar serves to balance out the tartness of the apples, creating a delightful flavor profile that is both sweet and savory.
The dry ingredients, including flour and baking powder, should be whisked together in another bowl, before being added to the apple mixture, mixing until just combined. It’s crucial not to overmix, as this can result in tough fritters that lack texture and flavor.
Next, using a fork or a piping bag with a round tip, drop small amounts of the batter into hot oil (around 375°F), making sure not to overcrowd the frying area. This step requires careful attention, as the temperature of the oil can fluctuate rapidly, affecting the texture and consistency of the fritters.
After frying for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, carefully remove the apple fritters from the hot oil with a slotted spoon, draining any excess oil on paper towels. This step is critical in preventing the buildup of grease and ensuring that the fritters remain crispy.
Finally, once the fritters have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar for an added touch of elegance and flavor. This serves to balance out the richness of the fried apples while emphasizing their sweetness.
By following these instructions meticulously, you should be able to create delicious and visually appealing apple fritters that will make everyone’s taste buds dance with joy!
