Easy Sourdough Apple Fritters
Description
Whip up these easy sourdough apple fritters using sourdough discard, fresh apples, and warm spices—perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sourdough Starter, active or discard
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk, whole or your choice
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 cup Apples, peeled and diced; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Vanilla Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and sourdough starter. Add the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
- Gently mix in the diced, spiced apples until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick and sticky—that’s exactly what you want.
- Let the batter rest for 30–60 minutes. This helps develop flavor and lets the sourdough starter do a bit of magic.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Once fritters are cool enough to handle, drizzle (or dunk) them in your homemade vanilla glaze.
