Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 🍞
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 3 teaspoons baking powder 🧁
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 🌰
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/4 cup eggs (approximately 2 large eggs) 🥚
- 3 tablespoons margarine 🧈
- 1 cup cooking apples, peeled, cored, and diced 🍏
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips 🍫
- Icing sugar for dusting 🍰
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until they are well mixed. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients to prepare for the wet ingredients.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become light and foamy. Once they are ready, pour the beaten eggs into the well you created in the dry ingredients.
-
Incorporate the Additional Ingredients: Add the margarine, diced cooking apples, and chocolate chips to the mixture. Stir everything together gently, just until the ingredients are combined and the batter is moist. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pan to 375°F (190°C). The oil needs to be hot enough to fry the fritters properly and give them a golden brown color.
-
Fry the Fritters: Using a rounded tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until they begin to turn golden brown on the bottom, then flip them to cook the other side until evenly browned.
-
Drain and Cool: Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain and cool completely. This step helps to remove excess oil and ensures the fritters are not greasy.
-
Dust with Icing Sugar: Once the fritters have cooled, dust them with icing sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. This finishing touch adds a beautiful and delicious contrast to the warm, chocolatey fritters.
Serving Suggestion
Serve these Chocolate Apple Fritters as a delightful dessert or a sweet snack. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a special treat on your own. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon indulgence.
