Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 average sized apples diced small
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
For the Glaze
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Salted Caramel
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp flaky salt

Method
 

For the Fritters
  1. Grab a large mixing bowl and using either a whisk or an electric mixer, combine the milk, eggs, oil and brown sugar. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and and spices in a separate small bowl and then gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing gently but often, until all clumps are absorbed and it is well mixed. Finally, fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed. Set aside.
For the Glaze
  1. Combine the icing sugar, milk and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl and whisk vigorously until a smooth, light, thin glaze is formed. If it seems to thick, add a splash of milk. If it seems too thin, add a spoon of icing sugar, but thin is preferred for a light glaze on the donuts!
For the Salted Caramel
  1. In a medium sized pot on medium heat, melt together the brown sugar and butter until dissolved and starting to bubble. Pour in the heavy cream and let this come to a bubble for 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Once it has bubbled and starts to slightly thicken, remove from the heat and mix in the flaky salt. Pour this in to a heat safe glass jar with a lid and transfer to the fridge to set.
Making the Fritters
  1. Please read tips on heating the oil in the bakers notes above. Use a large pot or dutch oven filled with atleast 6-8 inches worth of vegetable or canola oil on medium heat. Once your oil has reached temperature, add 1/4 cup worth of fritter batter to the pot, I typically fry 4 fritters at a time. Allow these to fry for 4-6 minutes per side, but checking often for a golden brown fry before flipping over and allowing the second side to fry as well.
  2. Once cooked, remove from the oil and dip directly in to the glaze while the fritter is still hot. Set these on a cooling wire rack to allow them to cool completely. Repeat this process with all of your fritter batter, and then once done, drizzle that salted caramel on top and enjoy!
