Apple Fritters
By Wafa — 100+ tested recipes
Discover the traditional recipe for apple fritters: a tender apple heart wrapped in a crispy, golden batter. A timeless classic for an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 5 pieces apples (Granny Smith recommended)
- 2 pieces eggs
- 30 g granulated sugar
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 30 cl milk
- 1 as needed sunflower oil (for frying)
- 1 to taste powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1Peel the apples, core them, and cut them into even rings. (Make sure the slices are of equal thickness for even cooking.)
- 2In a bowl, combine the eggs, flour, sugar, and milk, then whisk until you obtain a smooth batter. (Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.)
- 3Dip the apple rings into the batter and fry them in hot oil (approximately 180°C/350°F). (Don't overcrowd the pan so the oil temperature stays consistent.)
- 4Serve the fritters while still warm, dusted with powdered sugar. (They are best enjoyed immediately!)
Tips
- To check the oil temperature without a thermometer, drop in a small piece of bread: it should sizzle immediately.
- Avoid using overly juicy apples, as they could make the fritters soggy.
- You can add a touch of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel for extra indulgence.
Substitutions
- sunflower oil → canola or peanut oil — These oils have high smoke points suitable for frying.

Frequently asked questions
Which apple variety is best for this recipe?
You can use various types of apples depending on your preference, but firm-fleshed apples such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady are ideal because they hold their shape well during cooking.
How long can I keep the fritters once they are cooked?
Fritters are best when eaten the same day, but you can keep them for 24 hours in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can freeze the cooked fritters and reheat them in the oven to regain their crispness.
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before use.
Is it necessary to peel the apples?
That depends on your personal preference. Keeping the skin on adds extra texture, but some may find it distracting.
