Description

Delicious fritters made with sourdough discard, filled with tender chunks of apple and warm spices, perfect for a cozy fall treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl until well blended.
  2. Whisk together the egg and milk in another bowl until light and frothy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes.
  7. Remove the fritters from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using tart apple varieties like Granny Smith. Make-ahead batter can be refrigerated before frying.
