Apple Fritters Made With Fresh Milled Flour

10 servings
Apple fritters made with fresh milled flour are the perfect go to quick treat! Meaning, no rise time necessary! Also, these are perfectly balanced with sugar & spice, then paired with the wholesome goodness of freshly milled wheat. This makes them a perfect match for some fresh-picked apples. So, I like to think of them as little pillowy apple dumplings.

Ingredients

  • 1&1/2 cup fresh milled flour 180g

    I like to use my AP flour blend, you can find that special blend. *see notes

  • sugar 50g
    ¼ c
  • baking powder
    2 tsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • cinnamon
    2 tsp
  • whole milk 80g
    ⅓ c
  • eggs
    2
  • applesauce 46g
    3 tbsp
  • or 4 very small apples
    2 large
  • Oil for frying

    We used about 1.5 L of Peanut oil in our 12 inch cast Iron Pan.

  • powdered sugar 240g
    2 c
  • milk 60g
    ¼ c
  • vanilla
    ½ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Firstly, mill the wheat to get your freshly milled flour.

  2. 2

    Also, get your pan preheated with the oil ready. We used enough peanut oil to fill the pan about 1&1/2 to 2 inches high. Then, preheated it to 375*F. This can take up to 20 minutes to preheat, so get it started early in the process.

  3. 3

    Then, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl of freshly milled flour. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    In a separate small bowl, add the milk, eggs, and applesauce. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until combined. Then, fold the peeled & diced apples into the batter.

    Step 5
  6. 6

    Prepare a baking sheet with some paper towels. (This is where the fritters will go to drain after frying.)

  7. 7

    Using a high heat digital thermometer, check the oil and make sure it is up to temperature before frying the fritters. (If the oil is too hot, it will burn the outside before the inside is cooked, if the oil is too cold, it will make the fritters very oily and odd textured.)

    Step 7
  8. 8

    Once the oil is up to temperature, drop about 1/4 cup of batter into the oil, and lightly press to flatten a bit. (I like to use a metal measuring cup, so it can touch the oil.)

    Step 8
  9. 9

    Cook each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, because that will drop your oil temperature resulting in an uneven cook.

    Step 9
  10. 10

    Remove fritter from the oil onto some paper towels to drain. Let the oil come back up to temperature, and repeat with the rest of the apple fritters until gone.

    Step 10
  11. 11

    Make the glaze. So, add milk to the powdered sugar in a clean bowl. Whisk together, then add vanilla and whisk that in. You may need to add more milk if the glaze is too thick, or more powdered sugar if it is too thin. You are looking for the glaze to coat the back of the spoon, but still drizzle excess off.

    Step 11
  12. 12

    Let the fritters cool a few minutes, then while still a bit warm dunk each side of the fritter into the glaze. I like to place a cooling rack over my paper towel lined baking sheet for an easier glaze cleanup.

    Step 12
  13. 13

    Once both sides of the fritter are coated, let the excess drain off, then place on the cooling rack. More glaze should drizzle off.

  14. 14

    Let the apple fritters cool and dry completely, the glaze will harder as it dries.

About this Recipe

Craving a delightful, warm treat without the long wait? These Apple Fritters Made With Fresh Milled Flour are your perfect answer! Forget the typical rise time – this fritter recipe is designed for instant gratification, delivering a quick, pillowy confection in just 30 minutes total time. We've taken the classic comfort of apple fritters and elevated it with the rich, nuanced flavor and wholesome goodness of freshly milled wheat.

What makes these fritters truly special is the harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Each bite offers a beautifully balanced sweetness and spice, perfectly complementing the tender chunks of fresh-picked apples. They're like little apple dumplings, but in a perfectly portable, fried format. The fresh milled flour creates a tender, unique crumb that truly sets these apart from your average fresh milled flour donuts. It's an easy and incredibly rewarding way to enjoy seasonal apples in a new light.

Tips for the Perfect Fritters:

  • Apple Choice: Opt for firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji to provide a nice contrast to the sweet batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to ensure a tender fritter. Lumps are okay!
  • Frying Temperature: Maintain a consistent oil temperature (around 350-375°F or 175-190°C) for even cooking and a golden-brown exterior without absorbing too much oil.

These scrumptious apple recipes are ideal for a cozy breakfast, a delightful brunch, or even a comforting dessert. Serve them warm, drizzled with the sweet vanilla glaze, and watch them disappear!
