Easy Apple Fritters made by dipping sliced apples in a quick batter and frying until golden and delicious! You won’t believe how easy and delicious these are!
I made these Apple Fritters over the weekend, because I figured I could get away with serving them for lunch. I mean, apples. Healthy! Fiber! Stuff like that! And then flour which is basically bread. So an apple sandwich.
My kids loved them and I had a lot of fun making them. Plus it gave me an excuse to buy an apple corer.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot to 350F.
- Peel and core the apples; slice into ¼-inch thick rings.
- Whisk together the buttermilk and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon and salt.
- Toss the apple slices with the buttermilk mixture; then dredge them in the flour mixture. Return to the buttermilk and then dredge in the flour again.
- Fry the apple slices until golden and crisp; drain on paper towels.
- Once cool, dust the tops with powdered sugar.
How Long Are They Good For?
These are best served shortly after frying them but they will stay good for about 2 days. Keep them at room temperature in an airtight container to keep them fresh for as long as possible.
The coating will start to get soggy the longer they sit so I recommend warming them in either the oven or a toaster oven.
Can You Freeze Them?
I don’t recommend freezing these apple fritters. The coating would soak up too much moisture and become soggy once defrosted.

So many people think of Apple Fritters as the doughnuts, and this is the way that I grew up with Apple Fritters. My Grandma made them this way as did my Great-Grandma. My cousin from California always request them when he come in. I love them this way, but we just sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar. YUMMMM

Burn a candle for about a half hour and that should take care of the frying oil smell.
The recipe is yummy!

Apple fritters are my favorite! Once when I burnt something really bad on the stove my house smelled horrible. I put little cups of white vinegar all through my house and it seemed to help. It’s worth a try :)
Amanda says
I need one of these right now!

I am the queen of naps! Seriously, when I take a nap, it’s a 2-3 hour nap. And I LOVE it. There’s nothing wrong with taking a nap. I wish I could have seen this when I was a kid and REFUSED to take one!
I’m right there with you on these Apple Fritters – lunch, yes. Snack, yes. Any excuse to eat them, yes. They look SO good, Amanda!

Not sure if I would be excited about snow, but I am sure excited about these apple fritters! YUM!

I bet you could bake them instead of frying. That would eliminate the guilt of eating fried foods!

Can’t wait for snow here – it was 80 degrees yesterday. It should be puffy jacket weather by now… I’ve never made apple fritters, but yours look deeelicious.

I love this time of year and once the first snow hits, it’s even better! These fritters look like they’d be perfect with apple cider or cocoa!
