How easy are these apple cinnamon fritters? Impossibly! Thanks to your trusty box of Bisquick, these crispy treats are ready in just 25 minutes. Chopped Granny Smiths are a great apple to use since they’ll add a pop of tartness to the sweet fritter dough. Just before serving, dust fritters with powdered sugar for a final touch.

More About This Recipe

  • Bite-sized and sweet, these apple fritters will give any doughnut-shop fritter a run for its money. Preparation is simple enough: Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon and apple are brought together with egg and water to form a sticky batter. Spoonfuls of batter are dropped into a hot oil — make sure your oil is hot enough to avoid soggy fritters! — fried 2-3 minutes and removed to drain on a paper towel. We like to finish these apple fritters off with a healthy dusting of powdered sugar but feel free to finish then with what you like best!
