Ingredients

  • 2 apples
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 70ml milk
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the coating:

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Method

  1. Prep the apples: Start by removing the core from the apples, then slice them into thin discs (aim for slices that aren’t too thick so they cook through properly). Keep the skins on – they add extra fibre and flavour to your fritters!

  2. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the apple slices.

  3. Coat the apples: Dip each apple disc into the batter, making sure it’s fully covered.

  4. Fry the fritters: Heat a frying pan over low heat and add a little butter or oil. Once hot, carefully place the battered apple slices in the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. Make the coating: While the fritters are cooking, mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

  6. Coat the fritters: Once the fritters are cooked, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still warm for a sweet, spicy finish.

  7. Serve and enjoy: These Low-Waste Apple Fritters are best served immediately, warm and crispy. Perfect for a sweet snack or dessert!
