Amish Apple Fritter

Posted on November 26, 2025 by Admin

Here’s a warm, soft, cinnamon-spiced Amish-style Apple Fritter recipe—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, just like old-fashioned country kitchens make them.


🍎 Amish Apple Fritters

Ingredients (makes ~10–12 fritters)

For the fritters:

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled & diced

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tbsp milk

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract


🔪 Prepare the Apples

  1. Peel and dice apples into small chunks.

  2. Toss with lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon.

  3. Set aside.


🥣 Make the Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together:

    • flour

    • sugar

    • baking powder

    • salt

    • cinnamon

  2. In another bowl, mix:

    • eggs

    • milk

    • vanilla

  3. Combine wet + dry ingredients.

  4. Fold in the diced apples. Batter will be thick.


🔥 Fry the Fritters

  1. Heat oil in a heavy skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Using a spoon or small scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the oil.

  3. Fry 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffy.

  4. Drain on paper towels.


✨ Glaze

  1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  2. Drizzle over warm fritters or dip the whole fritter for a classic Amish finish.


🍽️ Serve Warm

They’re best fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer.


⭐ Tips for Amish-Style Perfection

  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for a true old-fashioned flavor.

  • Don’t overcrowd the oil—fritters cook better in small batches.

  • If batter seems too thin, add a tablespoon of flour.

  • For extra apple flavor, sauté apples in butter + cinnamon for 2–3 minutes before adding to batter.
