Cook techniques
Frying
Frying is essential for achieving a crispy exterior for the apple fritter bites. Use a deep frying technique to ensure even cooking.
Mixing
Proper mixing of the batter contributes to the texture of the fritters. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just blended to avoid overmixing.
Dicing
Dicing the apples into small, uniform pieces allows for even distribution within the batter and promotes better cooking.
Coating
Coating the fritter bites in a sugar glaze enhances their flavor and brings a delightful sweetness to each bite.
Draining
After frying, draining the fritters on paper towels helps to remove excess oil, ensuring they stay light and less greasy.
