Fluffy apple cinnamon fritters that need only 4 ingredients to make. Flour, yogurt, apples and cinnamon. A little sugar goes a long way but if you have sweet apples you don’t need it.
We start by mixing the flour and yogurt together in a bowl until combined. You can do this in a stand mixer if you please but it isn’t a large amount of dough hence using your hands makes sense. Let the dough rest while you prep the apples.
Peel and cube a red apple, add cinnamon powder and salt into the apples and stir well. Flatten out the dough, add the chopped apples into the dough knead using your hands. The dough will not encase the apples but rather the apple will stud the dough evenly. Take your time with this step.
Cut into 6 pieces and roughly roll the pieces into a ball, the dough might get sticky as the apples might have already released its juices, that is normal. Cover the portioned dough and set it aside while the oil is getting hot.
Once the oil is hot (add a little flour into the oil - it should sizzle and bubble up). Fry two fritters at a time for 2 mins on each side. Once the fritters are in the oil I reduce the heat a little. We want a deep brown color. Remove from the heat, transfer to a wire rack to allow the excess oil to drain off. They are best served hot
Optional: can mix icing sugar and bourbon until it is glaze consistency and dunk the fritters into the glaze.
Notes
Other serving ideas: You could also dust the fritters with icing sugar or roll them into cinnamon sugar (sugar and cinnamon mixed).
