Deep-Fried Apple Fritters

Apple fritters are a favorite treat in Holland, where they're sprinkled with powdered sugar and sold fresh from street carts. But no matter where you are, now is the perfect time of year to serve up these crowd pleasers. Note: an apple corer will make your job easier.

DUTCH APPLE FRITTERS (makes 3 dozen fried apple slices) 

6 large cooking apples

1 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup milk

Oil for deep frying

Powdered sugar

1) Peel the apples and remove the cores. Cut into 1/3"-thick slices.

2) Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 

3) Add the beaten egg and milk to the flour mixture and mix well to remove any lumps.

4) Pour the cooking oil into a deep frying pan to a depth of 1/2". Heat the oil. Then dip the apple slices into the batter and deep-fry until golden on one side. Flip and fry until golden brown on the other side as well. Drain on paper towels. 

5) Sprinkle the fried apples with confectioner's sugar.

Voila! Tasty Dutch apple fritters are yours for the tasting.

    cmon people!, everything in moderation! All those above that say these are artery clogging etc, I guarantee that you're not eating lettuce leaves and carrot sticks 24/7. These are fantastic, great for a treat.

    I always figure, if something has an item that's good for you in it, then it's at least a little bit healthy. The apple cancels out the fat, carbs and sugar, doesn't it?

    They sound yummy and fattening, so I will wait till I have a crowd at my house to share them with and reduce my calorie intake. Thanks

    try the same amout in egg whites than whole eggs...theres also the lowfat egg substitutes too...but i think the basis of the batter is egg and flour like doing traditional french toasts

    If you're afraid that it's too fattening, then don't eat it. How does it hurt you if we eat them?
