Sourdough Cosmic Crisp® Apple Fritters

  • Cooking

A naturally bred cross between the Honeycrisp and Enterprise varieties, the Cosmic Crisp® has been celebrated by top bakers as an exceptional baking apple. This juicy gem delivers a balanced sweet-tart flavor that’s perfect for all your fall dessert cravings. It not only sweetens up beautifully when baked but also holds its texture, shape, and color—adding a little extra sparkle to your culinary masterpieces.

Ingredients

Fritters
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup active and bubbly sourdough starter
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 medium-large Cosmic Crisp® Apple, finely diced
  • Avocado oil, to fry
Glaze
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Flaky salt

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Mix in the sourdough starter until completely combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold the finely diced apple in until just combined.
  6. Let the batter rest while you heat the oil to fry.
  7. Pour avocado oil into a deep skillet until it fills about 1-2 inches of the pan. Place over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  8. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the pan and press down to slightly flatten the fritter out so it cooks evenly. Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil the entire time to make sure it stays at 350 degrees.
  9. Place the cooked fritters on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet so any excess oil can drain.
  10. Make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until a drippy consistency is formed. If the glaze is too thick, add ½ tbsp of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  11. Once the fritters have cooled mostly, dip the top of each fritter in the glaze, letting any excess drip off.
  12. Place back onto the wire rack and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  13. Let the glaze set and enjoy!

Not your childhood applesauce 🍎🍑⁠ Peaches found their perfect match in Cosmic Crisp®. No added sugar, just two fruits at their peak & simmered down into a naturally sweet & lightly spiced sauce. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
🍎 4 Large Cosmic Crisp® Apples, Diced⁠
🍑 24 Oz Frozen Peach Slices⁠
🍋 1 Lemon, Juiced⁠
💧 3/4 Cup Filtered Water⁠
⁠
Directions⁠
1. Add all ingredients to a large pot. Cover with a lid and place over medium heat.⁠
2. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently until the fruit has cooked down & is soft all the way through. A fork should easily pierce an apple. If the mixture is bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium-low.⁠
Add everything to a blender, working in batches if needed. Blend until completely smooth, then pour back into the pot.⁠
3. Place back over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to cook down/thicken a bit more. This step is optional but recommended.⁠
4. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.⁠

Cosmic Crisp® said oxidation? Never heard of her 🍎🧬 ⁠
⁠⁠
Cultivated with naturally higher levels of sugar & acidity, this helps make the apple incredibly slow-to-brown. Translation? No sad brown apples ever 👏⁠
