Apple fritters are wonderful way to welcome in fall and the bounty of the harvest. But, they’re also a welcome treat year-round. These caramel apple fritters recall the candy-dipped apples of fall festivals.
Yet, these delicate, spiced fritters have a soft texture that simply melts in your mouth. The addition of caramel candies into the batter makes them even sweeter and more irresistible – if that’s possible.
You’ll need to peek chop up 1-2 Granny Smith apples finely for this recipe. Then toss them with cornstarch and cinnamon to prevent browning and to help them disperse in the batter.
The batter is a simple one, but includes some brown sugar, as well as some cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, and nutmeg. And, then of course, we have the chewy caramel pieces. These can be a bit hard to chop, but it’s worth it for the rich result.
Then comes the frying. You don’t need the heat to be cranked up on the oil, as a lower temperature does the trick here. If the oil is too hot then the fritters can look done on the outside well before the insides have had a chance to cook properly.
