How to Make Apple Fritters With Cinnamon Sugar And Caramel Sauce

1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice 2 medium apples into ½-inch thick pieces.
2. Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in ¾ cup ice cold water until a smooth batter forms, similar in consistency to thickened cream. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
3. Prepare the frying oil: Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a medium saucepan to a depth of about 1 inch. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
4. Fry the fritters: Dip apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully drop the battered apple slices into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Drain the fritters: Remove the fried fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
6. Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
7. Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Stir in ¼ cup heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
8. Assemble and serve: Place the apple fritters on serving plates. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar and drizzle with the warm caramel sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
