  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • Oil for frying
  • For glazing:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar

Warm Glazed Apple Cider Fritter Bites Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Cider: In a saucepan, bring the apple cider to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce to simmer until reduced by half, then set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cooled apple cider, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom (about an inch deep). Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to prevent overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: While the fritters cool slightly on a paper towel-lined plate, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, apple cider, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  8. Glaze the Fritters: Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters while they’re still a bit warm to ensure it sticks. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.

What to Serve Warm Glazed Apple Cider Fritter Bites With

Looking to enhance your fritter experience? Pair these delectable bites with a warm cup of spiced tea or hot apple cider for a cozy treat. You could also serve them alongside creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert option. If you want to go all out, top your fritters with some whipped cream to elevate the entire experience!

Top Tips for Perfecting Warm Glazed Apple Cider Fritter Bites

  • Oil Temperature: Make sure your oil is at the proper temperature (350°F) before dropping your fritters in. If it’s too low, the fritters will absorb excess oil and become greasy.
  • Batter Consistency: Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best results!
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment! Add chunks of apple or dried cranberries to the batter for a twist or sprinkle some chopped nuts for additional texture.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store your leftover Warm Glazed Apple Cider Fritter Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you wish to keep them longer, they can be refrigerated for up to one week. The fritters can also be frozen for up to three months—just make sure to layer them in parchment paper and use an airtight container. To reheat, pop them into the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
