Introduction
Crispy and golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, these ricotta apple fritters are filled with spiced caramelized apples and dipped in a rich maple glaze. Adding ricotta gives the fritters an exceptionally tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Step 1
Peel, core, and cut the Granny Smith apples into very fine dice.
Step 2
In a skillet, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, water, and the diced apples. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender and caramelized, then let them cool down for a few minutes.
Step 3
Prepare the glaze by whisking icing sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in pure maple syrup and a small spoonful of juices from the cooked apples.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Keep oil temperature around 325°F (165°C) to allow the fritters to cook through completely inside without burning on the exterior.
Do not make the scoops too large; small portions fry much more evenly.
Use a slotted spoon when adding the cooked apples to avoid watering down the batter with excess liquid.
Adding a spoonful of the cooked apple syrup into the glaze reinforces apple and spice flavors.
