In reply to Kristin. Hi Kristin! The answer to your question is not a one size fits all unfortunately. I chose honey crisp apples for this recipe because they hold their shape and crunch well (which I like). Some other apples break down and cook softer than others. I would suggest researching, and selecting the apples that will give you the outcome you prefere.

These were truly delicious. I followed the recipe completely, even using an icecream scoop to drop them in the fryer.
Unfortunately, my deep fryer maxed out at 350°, so cooking for 60-75 seconds yielded a gooey center. I set a timer for 2min, and flipped them halfway. This worked perfectly.
I sprikled them with a simple cinnamon sugar (the kids love this).
Upon trying one, my youngest announced that they will be perfect for the church potluck, to which my husband immediately protested! I assured him that I made a double batch, to which he proclaimed that “he will eat his fill first!”. lol

In reply to Kristin. Hi Kristin! There will be a little bit of a crunch to the apples when they are done cooking. I'm not sure how pre cooking the apples would work.

hello there I wanted to ask if the apple pieces are completely tender and cooked after frying or if they still have a crunchy texture? I know it's weird but I really don't like anything with apple in it if it's still crunchy lol I mean I love apple everything but it's gotta be cooked all the way through, otherwise I'd just go eat a whole apple. ha I know I'm weird! if they stay crunchy, how do you feel about precooking them a bit in some cinnamon or cutting them down even smaller maybe? thanks always love your recipes!

I’ve tried several online recipes for Apple Fritters to try to copy them from my favorite food truck from our annual fall festival and this recipe is IT. So delicious, soft and tender. Thank you!

I love all of your recipes that I have used, but I have a question. Could you bake these instead of deep frying them?
Thanks

Every fall my husband (not so subtly) texts me the link to this recipe, and this year I finally made them. So good! And not hard! We really enjoyed them and the detailed instructions. My husband is happy!

In reply to michelle galich. Hi Michelle! I think it could potentially work, but they will likely be a bit more moist, making the dough a little bit wetter. :)

hi, have you ever experimented with grating the apples instead of dicing?

In reply to Donna. Hi Donna! This means the oil temp is too high, unfortunately. Make sure to use a thermometer and I would not turn your stovetop heat above medium maximum. If you were using a thermometer and it told you the temperature was correct, then unfortunately it is likely inaccurate :(

Fritters were raw in the middle. Cooking longer burned them. Trying to bake them now. May end up “feeding” to kitchen trash! Such a shame. Have stared at this recipe with interest for a long time. Do love your other recipes.

In reply to JENNIFER JONES. Hi Jennifer! I'm not sure how freezing it uncooked will work. I've never tried it. If you do try it I would love to know how it works. :)

Question: Can I make the batter, seperate it into balls, freeze them
and then fry one whenever I want to? Would that work? Thanks

In reply to Anne Cobb. Hi Anne! Unfortunately I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure what the best method to reheat them would be. Maybe using the air fryer?

In reply to Ami. Hi Ami! Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I am so, so sorry for the confusion. I will make sure to update the recipe now. If it doesn't show as updated on your computer you may need to clear your browser history. :)

The measurements for the glaze in the recipe are significantly different from the video. I followed the recipe and there was definitely not enough liquid for the amount of powdered sugar. So I went back to video… if you’re new to baking and don’t watch the video, the glaze is going to be a disaster. Any chance you could update the recipe to reflect the video? Thanks!

Hi, love these apple fritters, but since it is just me and perhaps one other person, I really do need to freeze them. I tried this, and it worked pretty well, heating them in the oven after thawing, and I also think that I might be able to quickly refry them. Do you have any other ideas for saving/storing them?
I do realize they would not be perfect as it is when eating them immediately. Thanks.

I was following your apple butter recipe, which I’ve used before, came across this, and thought, why not? Deep frying usually scares me because of, well, all the stuff mentioned and all the things that can go wrong. Mine turned out awesome! I’d post pics but not sure I’m able. They were crunchy in the right places, cakey in the right places, and the apples were perfect. Thanks for all the tips, and following them all should make them turn out like mine did. Family loved them, and I got about 15 out of the batter. Bout 5 we couldn’t eat, so I’m gonna test your they’re not very good the next day theory. 😉
