Apple Fritters with Candy Corn Tips

  • You might need more than 2 cups of oil, it depends how big is your frying pan.
  • You can use candy thermometer to fry your fritters, just heat oil until the temperature reads 360 F/365 F. Otherwise if you don’t have thermometer heat oil until it is hot.

Candy Corn Fritter Faq’s

What are apple fritters made of? They are made with flour, eggs, cinnamon, sugar and chopped, sliced or diced apples, topped with icing glaze.

Why are my apple fritters soggy? You need to fry them at high temperature. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or more time might be required. You don’t want to end up with undercooked friedcake.

What apples to use? You can use any that you have, however keep in mind that some apples might be mushy after frying. If you would like firm friedcake pick: Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious etc.

      Wow those looks delicious! I actually love candy apples, the original kind with the red candy on the outside. There is actually a gormet shop here that sells apples with lots of different coatings from chocolate, candy and even gummy bears.
