INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Creamy, slow-cooked oats, sweet, jammy pears, a crispy pecan-date crunch, and a final hit of passionfruit to keep things interesting. It’s rich but not heavy, naturally sweet but not cloying, and the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re staying at a really nice boutique hotel (even if you’re still in pajamas). Plus, it’s easy to make ahead, which is always a win.

How to serve
Serve this in your favorite bowl, drizzle with a little extra syrup if you’re feeling fancy, and don’t skimp on the crunch, it’s the best part. The passionfruit should be the last thing you add to keep that fresh, tart contrast. If you want to take it up a notch, add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk. And if you’re a texture person, toasted coconut or cacao nibs would be a solid move.

How to store
Leftover oats keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, just reheat with a splash of milk or water to bring them back to life. The pear compote and crunch store separately in airtight containers (compote in the fridge, crunch at room temp) for easy layering all week.

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

Ever feel like treating yourself to something that’s a mix of comfort and a touch of fancy? These fluffy apple fritters are just that! They’re packed with juicy apple chunks, fried to golden perfection, and then topped with a mouthwatering lemon vanilla glaze. It’s the kind of snack that feels like a warm hug, perfect for cozy mornings or as a delightful dessert to share with friends. Trust me, once you try these, they’ll become your go-to treat!

They’re best enjoyed fresh and warm, right out of the frying pan, with the glaze still slightly gooey and dripping down the sides. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a perfect morning pick-me-up. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side turns these fritters into an irresistible dessert.

If you have leftovers (which I doubt!), store these fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For the best experience, reheat them in the oven at a low temperature.

Print Recipe

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • small pot
  • cooling rack
  • two bowls
  • whisk
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small bowl

Ingredients

Units
BATTER
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 apples
  • fat for frying
GLAZE
  • 65 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Heat frying fat in a small pot to around 175°C / 350°F. Prepare a cooling rack with some paper towels underneath to catch any excess oil when the fritters are done.
  2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another mixing bowl, crack the egg and whisk it together with milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Set aside.
  4. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Set aside.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Then, add the apple pieces and mix everything together again.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying each side for about 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness. I used about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter per fritter. Place the fritters on the cooling rack to drain any excess oil.
  7. While the fritters are frying, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the fritters. I think they taste best when warm, so feel free to enjoy them right away 🙂
