You know, I just  love-LUh-HUV my booze infused food/treats, and the poor Apple Fritter has been left out of the tipsy treat game for far too long!  Well..their day has finally arrived, and it’s spectacular!  This one was worth the wait!

Now you can enjoy your Apple Fritters for breakfast OR happy hour and it’s completely socially acceptable!  These aren’t your Dad’s “sunday morning-newspaper reading” Apple Fritters..OH Nooo!

These babies are literally filled with crisp, refreshing Apple Ale and studded with Lucly Leaf Apple Pie Filling, just to hold the whole thing together in the most delicious way EVER!

Moist, tender and overflowing with a one-of-a-kind balance of fritter flavors like you’ve never known, these will fast become your very favorite fritter.  The addition of the Lucky Leaf Apple Pie Filling is what takes these over the top.  Every bite is not only booze filled, but they’re so moist, with a sweet surprise pop of apple pie filling with every bite. 🙂

The Apple Ale glaze takes them over the top, as each warm Fritter absorbs the glaze and begs for more.  Yep~  these are double glazed!  And as a bonus..these require NO yeast, and we know what that means >>  YEP~ NO work for you..lol!

~So go make a quick, simple batch of these babies and experience what a fun, fabulous fritter really tastes like!

And check out Lucky Leaf on Facebook..on Twitter and on Pinterest!

What you’ll need for 1/2 a dozen booze filled Fritters (double accordingly for more):

1 1/2 cups of Apple Ale..divided~ reserve some of the 1/2 cup as needed, for the glaze!  Use 1 cup for the fritters!

1 cup ap flour

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

4 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup of Apple Pie Filling..chopped

oil for frying ~ I used Canola

The “Apple Ale GLAZE”

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

3-4 tbsp. of the reserved Apple Ale (this will vary depending on consistency)  ..mix slowly until it’s thick.

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, Apple Ale and egg.  Mix until it’s a semi-thick dough…

Chop up the apple pie filling into a large dice…

Fold the apple pie filling into the fritter dough until it’s evenly incorporated…

Heat up about 3″ of oil to 350 degrees (making sure there’s enough room inside your fry pot for the oil to expand as you fry)..  While it’s heating up, prepare the Apple Ale Glaze >

In a medium bowl combine the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and Apple Ale..stir until it’s a thickness that you want.  ..set aside!

When the oil is ready, scoop approx. 2 tbsp. or so, of the fritter dough and gently drop it into the oil one at a time.  Fry them up until they’re golden on all sides, and cooked through.

They will continue cooking as they cool, so don’t over fry them.  You want a moist and tender center…

Let them cool completely before glazing them…

NOW~  you can glaze them!!

Then, let the glaze set up…

You can glaze them again if you’d like…you should do it, it makes them super awesome!

Serve them freshly glazed… (and you can zap them for a second or two for a super scrumptious, warm fritter…omg!)

AND share them with only those you love LOTS!

Like ..um..YOU!

~Enjoy!  🙂

OMG~~No..you don’t even know, how amazing this stuffing is!  I simply wanted to add something special to my ordinary stuffing side dish this year, something delicious, easy and unforgettable..and this was IT!  Even I didn’t bargain for something THIS incredible!

You haven’t lived until you’ve tasted the out of this word combination of savory Cornbread Stuffing with the fresh, fall flavored succulence of those moist, warm, tender Apple Fritters.

I thought about adding all of the Apple Fritters inside the Stuffing, but soon realized that the baking process would give the fritters a chance to become an awesome ‘topping’ as they become toasty, yet tender, and literally melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

~When you scoop through that top Apple Fritter layer, you get to see (and smell) what heaven is made of!

~This combo was pure and perfect destiny!  Really..I’m speechless and all I can say is try this!  It’s foolproof and your dish will be the MVP of that holiday table, and so will you…I promise!

What you’ll need:

An 8×8 square baking dish

6 Apple Fritters..I used Krispy Kreme

1-6 oz. box of stuffing mix..BUT, you can definitely make your own!!

2 cups of hot milk

3 tbsp. butter..melted

2 eggs

Directions:

Cube 2 of the apple fritters into 1″ cubes and set aside.

In a medium bowl combine the hot milk with the melted butter, let it cool slightly and add in the eggs.  Whisk until smooth…

Pour in the stuffing mix…

Gently stir in the cubed apple fritters so they absorb as much liquid as possible…

Pour the mixture into a sprayed baking pan, making sure to arrange the fritter pieces evenly…

Top it with the other four fritters.  You can break them up if you prefer, but they get super soft in the oven, and look really amazing on the top.

Bake it at 350 for approx. 20 minutes, or until the stuffing is firm all the way through and the fritters are soft and golden…

Let it cool, the sugar on top is HOT!

Then plate it up!

DIG IN! You won’t believe how amazing this is..trust me!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

This recipe is filed under the “If a little is good, then more is better” category!  Since I was a baby (well..at least a toddler..lol) I have adored Apple Fritters!  Every Sunday my dad would make his way to umm..wherever people went to get a Newspaper (remember those?) and he’d always come home with an Apple Fritter for me!  Ahh..nothing like the bullet-proof metabolism of a child..haha!

Anyway~  I really wanted to create a GIANT Apple Fritter inspired cake that would last me for days and days!  Err.., I won’t tell you how long it may or may not have actually lasted, but I will tell you that it was an awesome and tasty 15 minutes at least..LOL!

I cut shallow slices all over this cake just to give it those fritter-like hills and valleys to hold all of that classic glaze and to ensure a glaze filled bite every time, just like an authentic Apple Fritter!

Oh boy~~oh boy, did this ever work!  I’m talking about warm, apple filled cake that’s spiced to perfection with the classic flavors of that doughnut from heaven!  Big bites of real Apple filling are studded between clouds of cinnamony cake, that are literally dripping in sweet glaze!  Perfect for that Fall/holiday table and SO easy~  like, super easy!  You will LOVE it!

What you’ll need: 

1 21 0z. can of Apple Pie Filling

1 1/2 cups of self rising flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup apple juice/cider

2-3 tbsp. of cinnamon..yep..lots!

A 9″ round cake pan..for an authentic “fritter” look

The Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

milk or cream, enough to get it nice and thick..about 1/4 cup or so, but add slowly!

Directions:

Chop up the apple pie filling into small pieces, you still want to know what they are in the cake though!

In a large bowl add the flour, cinnamon, sugar and apple juice..

Mix the dry ingredients until well combined!

Now, add in the chopped apple pie filling and gently mix well…

Pour the batter into the sprayed and lined baking pan, even out the top…

Bake it at 350 for approx. 25-30 minutes, or until it’s golden and cooked all the way through.

Let it cool completely…

When it’s cool, slice shallow, 1″ or so slices evenly throughout the cake, making sure not to cut all the way through.  The glaze with soften the bottom up, and it will be easy to separate!

Pour that glaze a.k.a the BEST part..all in, on, over, under and around that glorious apple fritter cake!

Now serve it up…

Try not to eat it all yourself…

But if you do, no one has to know..lol!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Okay, it’s becoming clear to me that I’m in the middle of a raging “Puppy” obsession right now!!  Not just for this puppy (which is in the process of getting “potty trained”..ugh) ..I’m. SO. Tired!  😉

I’ve also been obsessed over the sweet, sticky, crispy variety of Puppies too!  These super-easy, perfect puffy puppies take breakfast to a whole new level…and their crying won’t keep you up at night..LOL!

Every bite is a mini Apple Fritter-Pancake experience!  Crispy on the outside, moist, tender & fluffy on the inside.  They’re totally filled with cinnamony, apple pie-ish decadence.  Every burst of warm, gooey apple suspended throughout each puffy pancake puppy will make your ordinary morning EXTRA-ordinary!  You won’t believe this is ‘breakfast’!  ~Happy Sunday! 🙂

Thennn..when you plunge them deep into some warm melted Maple Cinnamon Butter, you’ll be taken to a new level of pancake happiness!  You just might moan and groan out loud..so be prepared!  🙂

They’re that good!

Go make some now..go, go!  🙂

What you’ll need for a nice pile of Puppies:

1 Cup of Pancake mix

2 tbsp. Water (approx.)

3/4 Cup Apple Pie Filling

1 tsp. All Spice

3 tbsp. Butter

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Maple Syrup

Oil for frying

Directions:

In a medium bowl add the Pancake Mix, Water, Pie Filling & All Spice

Work it into a dough, smearing the Apple Pie Filling slices into the dough with the back of your spoon.  It should be a very thick batter…

Heat the oil in a medium pan/pot and drop in tablespoon sized dollops of the batter…

Fry up both sides evenly.  Drain & Cool!

While they’re cooling make the Melted Cinnamon Maple Butter!!  ~Ooo yeah!

Simply melt the butter and Cinnamon together (I used a microwave)..and then drizzle in the Maple Syrup..stir it up!

 That’s it!!  Now you’re ready to serve up a warm plate of Apple Fritter Pancake Puppies!

Plunge a Puppy into that buttery perfection, grab a fork and take a sweet, fluffy, buttery bite!

Or forget the fork..just grab that puppy & have at it!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
