Easy Apple Raisin Fritters


Apple Raisin Fritters are luscious fried pastries filled with apples, raisins, and cinnamon, drizzled with a flavorful glaze. They're my hubby's favorite pastry! So naturally, you understand why I'm sharing this recipe for this month's Fall Recipes Blog Hop Challenge hosted by Beverly @Across the Blvd


These easy to make homemade apple fritters are packed full of fresh apples - perfect for the fall season - and raisins - along with a few other simple ingredients. Truly a quick and delicious recipe that's filled with fall flavors! And the best part, you can be tasting these warm apple fritters in less than forty minutes.

Let's start with peeling and dicing the apples into small chunks. Granny Smiths are the preferred apple for pastries, tarts and pies. They're incredibly crisp, firm, and juicy. Once diced, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Next, blend in the dry ingredients in a large bowl - flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a folk, then add applesauce, and milk.  Add to the dry ingredients and stir together to combine. Then fold in the apples and raisins.

Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 375 degrees. It's important that you maintain this temperature. Too hot and the fritters will burn. Not hot enough and they'll be soggy in the middle.
Drop about 1/4 cup of batter into hot oil .  .  .
and cook each side 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove to paper towels to drain, then move to cooling rack to air dry and to drizzle the glaze on.
 
To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract together in a 2cup+ measuring cup until smooth. Use the cup to drizzle the glaze on top of the apple raisin fritters while cooling.

  6. The Easy Apple Raisin Fritters were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet apples and plump raisins created a perfect balance of flavors. The fritters were light and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and moist on the inside. The simple recipe made them a breeze to prepare, and they were devoured in no time. I'll definitely be making these fritters again for a tasty snack or dessert option.
