Written by Emma Hendy With the cold weather finally here, there is nothing I want to do more than cook warm comfort food to combat the 30-degree weather. Over fall break, I visited a pumpkin patch with my family that had fresh picked apples. The crisp breeze and gala apples gave me the idea to make apple fritters! I was hesitant at first as baked goods can be daunting but I’m here to let you know its easier than you think! The recipe on Souffle Bombay has perfected apple fritters. This recipe is so fast, in fact peeling the apples was the longest part. You will start off by peeling and dicing the apples of choice. I chose to use gala apples as they're great when cooked. The batter itself will take 5 or more minutes to make. To start, you should combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in one bowl. Next, combine milk and egg in another bowl and finally, put the dry ingredients into the wet. I chose to combine some cinnamon and sugar for the topping. After testing it out, I found that½ cup of sugar to 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon is a good ratio. I next tossed the cut apples with this cinnamon sugar mixture. Then I combined the apples in the wet mixture. This batter immediately began to give off an aroma that would remind anyone of fall. The spice of the cinnamon and the crunch of the apples is the best combination. With a fryer, I heated up the oil and used an ice cream scoop to place the batter into the fryer. Surprisingly, there was no splash and the ball quickly began to float as it turned a golden brown. At times, I had trouble telling when the batter was fully cooked since the bigger scoops needed longer to cook, which then made them turn a dark brown. I recommend using a smaller amount of batter to make sure the fritters stay golden brown and are fully cooked. As a finishing touch, I sprinkled leftover cinnamon sugar over the hot fritters which allowed it to melt into the fritter. This made for the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. At the last minute, I decided to make a simple icing which consisted of three ingredients: vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk. The icing may have needed to be refrigerated because it instantly seeped through the fritter and made the fritter soggy. Next time, I would stick with only the cinnamon and sugar for a warm and sweet end result.
