He obviously really knows what he’s doing! I personally won’t be doing these since it will take a really long time with the three separate rises! But I like the idea of cooking the apples prior to putting them in the dough. I think I’ll try this with one of the batter dough recipes that do not include yeast but instead have baking powder or baking soda.

[@penniecurrie2424]

Princessi have been making apple fritters for a min never cook the apples if u diced then fine enough u don't need to cook in advance u want to taste a little crunch and I never use yeast my recipe calls for all purpose flour one time ii only had self rising just don't add the baking powder and salt to self rising flour they r so ,so really good,I let mine cool after cooking then dip into confectioner sugar little vanilla Good god from Zion they r good

Life’s a waiting game, why not enjoy some fritters while you dance the dance of life.

[@billiehinze145]

Our Great Grandmothers, Grandmothers and in my case, my Mother, are in heaven laughing their heads off. 10 minutes to mix batter, peel and chop apples, a hot skillet with a little lard and the fritters are soon ready to eat.

[@mangot589]

This was the first video I've seen by Thomas. I appreciate that he discusses the rational behind the techniques he's employing. That kind of information has value for recipes and techniques outside of the scope of apple fritters. He's a good instructor.

[@VeeShay1]

As I commented to someone else, if you really want to kick the flavor up in this recipe, add a couple of teaspoons of fresh ginger, some cardamom and a very little bit of clove powder (it will enhance every flavor in the dish if you add a little, but it will overwhelm if you add too much). Also, grate a bite of both orange and lemon zest to your dough. Life changing!

[@Angelica-cy1jw]

It's official: my search for the perfect apple fritter ended today. Thank you for sharing this great recipe ❤. Pure perfection: the apple to dough ratio and end apple taste and texture. I made this recipe today and it delivered an amazing apple fritter. I should note the following: - I did not have pastry flour (I diy'd using all purpose flour + cornstarch) - I used fresh juiced apple juice in place of sparkling apple cider. - After mixing the dough in mixer for 7 minutes, I handled the 'tacky dough' differently in that I used a dough scraper to do a series of 'rapid lifts' every 2 minutes for a total of 10 minutes. Then, I added a light dusting of flour on my work surface to shape dough into a ball (then placed in oiled bowl), let rise. - I spread the apple mixture over the entire surface of the rectangular shaped dough, dusted the apples with flour, rolled up cinnamon roll style, with help of bench scraper, chopped diagonal slices and chopped these again at a different angle. Dusted with flour, then reshaped the log again by pushing it all together. - Lastly, I chopped slices (ie I did not use cookie cutter to cut out each fritter). The remaining, as per video. As this was my 'test batch', I only made half of the recipe amount. For anyone pondering if these are any good - they're the very best and worth making. The 'tacky dough' is the only part of the recipe that requires proper attention. Thank you, again! ❤

[@bklynn5288]

I’m making this recipe right now...waiting on first proof! Actually not as hard as it seems. I didn’t get the different flours (super market is closed!) just used my all purpose, and the dough feels great! My first time making a dough, I’m excited to try it!

[@TriniMaye]

Stephanie Noel how did it go?

[@bklynn5288]

Trini M It was actually really good! Baked half the batch and fried the other. The baked half was a little dry but good with glaze on top. (Even better next day microwaved for a few seconds to have with coffee). Fried was great! Crispy, hot, delicious with ice cream. Probably wouldn’t make again, but was fun to make, especially for thanksgiving.

Found it odd to add high protein bread flour to low protein pastry flower. They probably average out to all-purpose mixed. (Reminds me of Gwyneth Paltrow adding lemon to her alkaline water.)

[@JessieJansen61]

I absolutely love the way he explained the process. Will definitely make it. I used the same process for Danish pastries

[@fdgreando]

There may be a lot of steps but I have made these once and then had requests for them over and over again. This has been the best recipe I've tried for apple fritters. I don't understand why it calls for so many egg yolks though? I have replaced with whole egg and they come out great but not five eggs 2-3 whole eggs. I usually have to double this recipe because they go fast and I usually make them for bake sales at church. Also the recipe has the ingredients going into the bowl for the dough in a different layer than what he shows in the video.

[@powerbillions2792]

Hello Glenda, how are you enjoying yourself over there.?

I am saving this video for those days my grandchildren visit and the weather is not good for them to play outside. We will watch the video together and work together in the kitchen, THEN we will enjoy our hot treats . These are the memories my sisters and I have when Grandma visited and she and Mother worked in the kitchen together. We either just watched as our mouths watered in anticipation, or we helped. Great memories to share with our children and grandchildren as these lovely ladies are no longer here.

[@spinnettdesigns]

After seeing this, I thank my mom, who bought a fryer at a garage sale and then made us delicious donuts. I don't think she went through as many stages of proofing but I am seriously thinking of trying this for me and dear sister to enjoy 👍 Good and delicious things come to those that wait, and who want quality. Thank you for the recipe.

Looks a lot like a NYE treat we have in The Netherlands. It's called 'oliebollen'. they're exactly the same except we like to add beer into the batter and also stuff it with raisins and succade, next to the apple. Topping them with icing sugar and ofcourse, drink it with champagne ;). This looks really good too though! The bread looks really fluffy =D

This is a foolproof method! I used this video to make the most delicious fritter I’ve ever had. The next time I made it I added 2 tablespoons of apple brandy to apple mixture. It reinforces the apple flavor. Thank You Thomas, your delivery is refreshing and the recipes seem like they’ve been tested several times.

I appreciate your detailed instructions and procedures, but I agree with Thomas. Apple fritters in the South were treats made for the children while our grandmothers were working away in the kitchens and snatched some batter , apples, and TIME to fry a treat for the children! If it had taken them two frying pans, a mixer, and 16 bowls, AND A RACK we wouldn't have gotten them. These are usually cooked by 100 year old recipes and are quick. My word, you could have made a mousse in all this time! But I'm sure they are delicious. But you need to call them something fancy.....true apple fritters are DEEP FRIED and take two shoes of a rabbit's tale to make!

[@johnlcallaway]

At the donut shop I work at, we use leftover yeast donut scraps. If you make donuts out of the scraps, they are tougher and don't proof well after being rolled again. But fritters are perfect for this since it doesn't require as much rolling as donuts do. However, in defense of the video, this produces far more lighter and fluffier fritters. It's not as much work as you think because of the rise times. But like anything when using yeast, it's a multi hour commitment that cannot be rushed for the best results.

[@cher128bx]

Lovely recipe, can't wait to try it. Two questions. Can vanilla bean paste be used instead of the vanilla bean? Can the dough be frozen and if so, at what point? I was thinking that maybe after the fritter was fried & cooled but before glazing or, at the raw stage, right before frying? Thanks again Thomas for this amazing recipe.

[@emilybh6255]

I thought part of the point of cooking the apples was to get the moisture out. If so, it doesn't follow that you would add the apple cider to it. I would instead add the cider to the dough and leave out the milk. Also there are apple fritter recipes that use baking powder and or baking soda that don't call for yeast and they are a lot quicker/easier to make. There is one that is a "Starbucks Apple Fritter Recipe" You can also make them a lot tastier by adding allspice and or ginger along with the vanilla and the cinnamon.

[@dremy101]

The milk added to the dough along with the eggs is what's called a "sweet" dough. That's what gives the fritters the soft texture as oppose to a chewy dough.

[@carlan.pennington7346]

Thanks😊😀 💡 your like I

[@emilybh6255]

@@dremy101 Oh. Thanks for the explanation. Well, I'd rather have better flavor than texture. I think the baking powder is all you need to get the fritter to rise during the frying. The milk, yeast and eggs don't do enough from a flavor standpoint for me to bother with. All they do is make the recipe more complicated to make and a lot more difficult to digest which translates to a lot worse for your health. Eggs and cow's milk are notoriously difficult to digest by themselves let alone being mixed in to a refined grain (flour) and sugar mixture.. I'd rather improve the recipe by adding spices and herbs which have health benefits and or apples/apple sauce/apple juice - the fresher the better. For binding, to replace the eggs, my go-to method is a Chia seed and water gel. Carla N. Pennington

[@davidguith818]

When did you price them--1991?

[@ariel3725]

Interesting. I thought fritters are more of a batter that is deep fried than a leavened dough (like donuts) that is deep fried.

[@nicchauvin1096]

That's how I've seen them made. I think his method is meant as a way to "improve" them by using cooked apples rather than a more sturdy raw apple that wouldn't fall apart when mixed into a batter. By going through all of these steps, he's able to fold in the cooked apples, so they don't become apple sauce when mixed into a typical batter.

[@starlakelsey2782]

When I made them it was a type of thick batter and they were not deep fried but fried in some oil in a cast iron pan. That is how my grandmother made them and she was pretty darn proud of them too. She made the BEST homemade mincemeat hand pies EVER. I never seen them since the 1960s. People would come from all around our area to get her mincemeat hand pies. Great hot or cold.

I don't mind doing hardwork but is this thing really worth making? P.S. I have never had apple fritters before

Every time that you said,"apples," I repeated it in my mind. You say it so cute.

[@aaronfuegopop]

everyones talking about how complicated it is but what did you expect? youre making apple freaking fritters from SCRATCH people!!!!!

[@aaronfuegopop]

the fritters look amazing at the end btw

[@williambell5726]

THEY ARE DELICIOUS!! I tried this recipe and was SUPER excited by the results!!! (so were my friends)

[@Fudgeey]

It's the multiple proofing breaks and the necessary kneading for a good dough. In all honesty, I probably would have started with a pizza dough, and just folded in butter along with the apples to save 6 hours. Or better yet, filo fritters.

I'm a pastry chef a lot of people don't think it takes a lot of work to make a donut yeah people going there and say they pick out the favorite donut why do you think it got done

[@williambell5726]

@@Fudgeey a great comment! These videos not only inspire folks to try something different, but inspire people to make a recipe their own!!! You don't ALWAYS need to exactly follow every step to accomplish your goal! Great thinking out of the box!
