Canadian Apple Fritters are a popular Canadian treat that is often enjoyed during the apple season in autumn. These fritters are made by dipping tart apple slices into a light and crisp batter made with eggs, sugar, apple juice, white wine, and a hint of lemon and orange zest. They are then deep-fried until golden brown, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and served hot with a dollop of whipped cream on top. The result is a sweet, comforting, and indulgent breakfast or brunch that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
2.Add white wine, apple juice, salt, lemon zest, and orange zest, and whisk until combined.
3.Gently fold in the sifted all-purpose flour until just combined.
4.Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a deep-fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot until its temperature reaches 350°F.
5.Dip the apple slices in the batter, then drop them into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry them until golden brown on all sides.
6.Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
7.Dust the fritters with confectioners' sugar and serve hot topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

PROS

These Canadian Apple Fritters are crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and have a delicious apple flavor that is perfectly complemented by the zesty lemon and orange notes.

They are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and the whipped cream topping adds an extra touch of indulgence.

CONS

As with any deep-fried food, these fritters are high in calories and fat, and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

They also require some effort and time to make, so don’t expect to whip them up quickly.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these fritters are not particularly healthy, they are made with fresh apples, which are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
The grated lemon and orange zest also provide some vitamin C, flavonoids, and other beneficial plant compounds that may support your immune system and overall health. However, due to the deep-frying process, you may lose some of the nutrients.
