Ingredients for Apple Fritters With Cinnamon Sugar And Caramel Sauce

  • Vegetable Oil
  • Plain Flour
  • Self Raising Flour
  • Caster Sugar
  • Cold Water
  • Apples
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for batter) + ¼ cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

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!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
