Ingredients
Scale
Maple Bourbon Apple Fritters
3 cup flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup bourbon
4 eggs
2 tbsp maple syrup
4 apples, chopped in small pieces
Maple Bourbon Glaze
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp milk
2 tbsp bourbon
3 cups powdered sugar
Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Line a plate with paper towels or set up a wire rack and place paper towels below. and set aside. Then, heat a few inches of oil in a large sauce pan on medium-low heat. Wait until the temperature reaches 350°F (we used a candy thermometer to measure this).
- While the oil is heating up, in large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside to combine the wet ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, bourbon, eggs and maple syrup. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Once the mixture is just combined, gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Using an ice cream or cupcake scoop, drop the balls of batter into the oil for 4-5 minutes, flipping them over a couple times throughout the process to cook each side evenly. We recommend only cooking 2 apple fritters in the oil at a time. Remove the fritters from the oil and place on wire rack. Repeat this process until you’ve used all the dough.
- While the fritters are slightly cooling, it’s time to make the maple bourbon glaze. Whisk together the maple syrup, milk, bourbon, powdered sugar. Drizzle the glaze over the apple fritters and top with flaky seas salt. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
