Ingredients

Batter

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup water
  • ⅓ cup peeled chopped red apple
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Frying

  • Canola or vegetable oil enough to reach halfway up a deep 2-quart pan

Finish

  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar

Optional glaze

  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk

Directions

  • In a bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Stir in the water until you have a batter, then fold in the apple and pecans.
  • Heat the oil in a deep 2-quart saucepan to 350°F, using a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Use a large metal spoon to drop four generous scoops of batter into the oil.
  • Fry for about 4 minutes, turning them, until golden and crisp. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Dust with the 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, or stir the glaze ingredients together and spoon the glaze over the cooled fritters.
