Quick and Easy Apple Fritters Recipe: Delicious Dessert in Just 5 Minutes!
Heat the Oil: Pour some sunflower oil into a frying pan, enough to cover the bottom with a thin layer. Heat the oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking. To test if the oil is ready, you can drop a small bit of batter into the pan – it should sizzle and start to cook immediately.
Cook the Fritters: Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Each fritter should be about a tablespoon of batter. Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. This allows them to cook evenly and get crispy. Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Drain the Fritters: Once the fritters are golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil. Place the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. This step will help keep them from being greasy.
4. Decorate and Serve:
Add the Finishing Touches: While the fritters are still warm, sprinkle them with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. The sugar will melt slightly into the fritters, adding a delicious sweet and spicy coating.
Serve: These apple fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve them as they are, or with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
