Cook techniques
Preparation of the Dough
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding wet ingredients to achieve a consistent dough texture.
Frying Temperature
Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F for optimal frying; this ensures the fritters cook evenly without absorbing too much oil.
Draining Excess Oil
After frying, place the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, which helps keep them from becoming greasy.
Coating with Sugar
While the fritters are still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar for added flavor and to enhance their sweetness.
FAQ
Can I use different types of apples?

Can I bake these fritters instead of frying?
While frying yields the best texture, you can try baking them in a preheated oven at 375°F until golden brown for a healthier option.
How do I store leftover fritters?
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Can I freeze fritters?
