Easy as Pie: Apple Fritters {Guest Post}

By Rachel // September 10, 2012 // 15 comments //

One of my best buddies is celebrating with us today. Katrina of In Katrina’s Kitchen has done something few seem to be willing to do anymore and that makes me happy. She fried apples! Not baked, but fried! I’ve never had an apple fritter but boy do I want one now! I think these would be a great addition to a scoop of ice cream. PS Do you have any idea how torturous it is to look at food pictures and posts before eating breakfast? I should know better by now.

We are a house divided when it comes to apples. I like them green and room temperature; my husband likes them red and ice cold. It’s amazing we are still married after all these years. This is important stuff! Although I need to remind him occasionally who is the apple expert in our home I am a nice person so I buy him those ginormous Red Delicious apples and put them in a huge bowl in our refrigerator. I didn’t even steal from his stash to make these Easy as Pie Apple Fritters.

It’s not often that I fry something and when I do there’s a little part of me that tries to make myself feel guilty. Normally I just shove a cookie in her tiny mouth and tell her I’ll listen to her concerns in about 20 minutes. Anyway I knew that it was okay to bring this dessert to Rachel’s apple party because she loves apples and **bonus** she’s not afraid of fried foods! Woohoo!

This apple fritter really is easy to make. I like it because it is technically more apple than fritter so that makes it healthier, right? ;) Core and slice up an apple, cover it in pancake batter, and give it a minute in some canola oil. A dusting of powdered sugar is the perfect final touch!

    Anything with apple in it is healthy in my book…even fried ones. I do happen to like red apples at room temperature…I like that you shared that little tidbit about you and your hubby! I really wish I had eaten breakfast before seeing this…this is all I want now:-)

    I wonder if Katrina delivers, I could totally go for one of these for a late morning snack! :) I have totally gotten over my fear of frying so these will be happening sooner rather than later in my kitchen.

    Oh! Apple fritters! I made the fried version (the kind with more dough :)) a few weeks ago and they were SO good that I ate them all at once. And that’s why I’m kind of against fried food. It’s just so good and then you eat it all and then you can’t move. Or at least with me.
