Apple Cinnamon Raisin Fritter Recipe

I love Apple Fritters! It looks like those Tea lights did the trick on that one…Looks pretty tasty. :)

Looks tasty, but whats the idea with messing up two ziplocks?
Could you not take all dry ingredients in one ziplock, tip into pot, add water and mix, add chopped apple and mix again, then cook?

Stuart,

You certainly could–no rules here, just suggestions. My idea was to have a good, even distribution of cinnamon in the dough and to coat the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg evenly so as to make each bite consistent. My concern was lumping everything together and not getting such a good distribution of spice/dough/apples.

If I get a chance, I will try your way to see if I have a preference. If you'd like to try it, please let me know what you think.

You could always use thinner sandwich bags as well….

Mike,

What are the dimesions of the non stick GSI pot you made that in?

Hi, Jimmer. And thank you again on your tea candle baking suggestion.

>>What are the dimesions of the non stick GSI pot you made that in?

That is the GSI Bugaboo Mess Kit pan.

Realistically, it's 7 1/4 inches in diameter. Just over 2 inches deep. Technically, the top spreads out and the specs you may find online may say 8 inches, but that extra space is only good for the frying pan/lid (which is slightly smaller and not nearly as deep) to rest upon. As you can see, the fritter batch I made took up the entire pan, so it made quite a bit of food.

I hope that helps.

I appreciate the info..It helps me to guage how much of that recipe will fit in a 3 cup OC pot..

What was the ambient temp when you used those 8 tealights? Any wind?

I was indoors. No wind. Pretty warm–call it 72*

I was just working out the recipe, no focusing on other variables. I went with 8 because it was such a large amount of dough.

So many recipes start with a store bought mix. Those are fine, but I really prefer to mix myself.

You were mentioning that a few candles go out while you bake sometimes.Sadly that is common with many cheaper tealight wicks.On the backpacking chef website, he talks about using little mini windscreens around each candle. Seems to work.

Neat trick, Jimmer. I will give this a try.
