Ingredients

Apple Fritters

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • ¼ cup Challenge Butter, melted
  • oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Caramel Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup Challenge Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Directions

  • 1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

  • 2

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted Challenge Unsalted Butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • 3

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.

  • 4

    Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  • 5

    In a small shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the hot fritters in the cinnamon sugar to coat them evenly.

  • 6

    In a small saucepan, melt the Challenge Unsalted Butter over medium heat.

  • 7

    Add the brown sugar, stirring until it dissolves. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

  • 8

    Serve the warm apple fritters with the creamy butter caramel dipping sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.
