Apple Ring Fritters
Don't make these. They take a long while. There's lots of standing at the stove. But most important, they TASTE AMAZING and you will want to have them every day!!
For a lower fat version you can simply spray oil on your hot cast iron pan and make them much like a traditional pancake. However for a more "fritter" crisp you will want to use a good amount of oil in your pan. Up to you! We made them both ways and both were wonderful.
Top with a sprinkle of powder sugar, cinamon sugar, or pumpkin pie spice. Or eat them plain. They really are THAT GOOD :D
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Grain Flour (Depending on the moisture content of your flour you may need another 3 TBL spoons. You want a consistency of thin and smooth pancake batter. We added about a quarter cup unbleached flour to our batter to get the right consistency.)
- 2 tablespoons Baking Powder
- 3 tablespoons Corn Starch
- .5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Whole Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla (We were out of our homemade vanilla and used one vanilla bean split and scraped.)
- 8 Apples (Again you may need more or less depending on the size of your apples. We found 7 slices fit well in our large cast iron pans. And we just kept cutting an making batches until we were near done with the batter.)
Powder sugar, cinamon sugar or pumpkin spice to sprinkle on top as or if desired.
Instructions
Slice apples about a quarter inch thick and use a small cookie cutter to remove the seed/core.
Mix your wet ingredients until smooth and then combine them with your dry in a large bowl. Mix until smooth. Dip your apple slices into the batter and fry in a hot skillet over medium/medium-low heat about 3 minutes per side.
Dust with powder sugar, cinnamon sugar or leave just as they are.
