RECIPE FOR APPLE FRITTERS BAKED RECIPES

Steps:

• In deep fat fryer or heavy 4-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 350°F.
• In small bowl, mix apple and cinnamon until well mixed.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using serrated knife, cut each biscuit horizontally to within 1/2 inch from edge to form a pocket. Spoon about 2 tablespoons apple mixture in center of each split biscuit; firmly pinch edges to seal. Shape each biscuit into 2 1/2x3 1/2-inch oval.
• In hot oil, place 2 biscuits at a time; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown. Using slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil; place on cooling rack.
• In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter and 1 tablespoon milk. If necessary, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm fritters.

Steps:

• Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, add lukewarm milk and 1 teaspoon sugar and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes. 
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine flour, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk and yeast mixture, and egg. Mix at medium speed until a very soft dough forms, about 5 minutes. 
• Increase mixer to medium-high speed and add softened butter a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough pulls away from sides of bowl, about 15 minutes. 
• Place dough on a well floured surface. Top with apples and knead dough until apples are mixed through and is no longer sticky, 5 minutes. Place dough in prepared bowl, cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours. 
• Preheat oven to 375°. Line two large baking sheets with parchment. 
• Place dough on a floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Cut each piece into 10 squares. Take 10 squares and form into a loose pile on top of prepared baking sheet to make 1 fritter. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise 30 minutes. 
• Brush fritters with melted butter and bake until golden and dough is cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. 
• Let cool 10 minutes, then place on cooling rack. 
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk. Spoon glaze over fritters and let set 10 minutes more before serving.
