Apple Fritters

I love reading recipe blogs to get ideas of new things to make.  When I saw this recipe for Apple Fritters from Buns in My Oven, I knew I had to try it.  Apple Fritters are one of my favorite things, and these did not disappoint.  I also love Blueberry Fritters, so I had to try it with blueberries too.  I can't wait to try these with Raspberries.


Place 2-3 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot.  Heat to 375 degrees over medium heat.  Place Apples or Blueberries in a small bowl and stir in a small amount of water to rehydrate the fruit and set aside.  Mix flour, baking powder, 1/4 C. sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, and salt.  Combine and egg powder and water and beat together.  Stir the eggs and the milk into the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth.  Drain any excess water from the fruit.  If you are using apples, stir lemon juice into the apples.  Combine the fruit with the batter.  When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil.  Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.  Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.  After a few minutes, toss the fritters in 1/4 C. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
