Ingredients
- Doughnuts:
- 24 Rhodes white dinner rolls*, thawed
- 21 oz can (extra fruit) apple pie filling
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (+/-) all-purpose flour
- oil (canola/vegetable), for frying
- Glaze:
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup milk, water, or apple juice
- 1 1/2 tsp maple extract, optional
Instructions:
1 ) Thaw *rolls on a lightly greased sheet tray covered with sprayed plastic wrap for approximately 2-3 hours (or in the refrigerator overnight), until thawed, but hardly risen.
2 ) Cut each roll into 6 pieces. Scoop apples out of the canned pie filling, and cut into chunks. (Try not to get too much of the sauce because things will get sticky.)
3 ) Combine the cut up rolls, apples, and cinnamon. Knead everything together by hand or with a stand mixer adding flour as needed, until it clumps together. (Will look like monkey bread.)
4 ) Pat dough into a flat disc on a floured surface. Cut dough into 16 pieces (approximately 3oz each). Dust two large sheet trays with flour. Place 8 doughnuts on each tray, shape each doughnut into a ball and flatten slightly with hand. Cover fritters with sprayed plastic wrap and let rest/rise for one hour.

5 ) Heat oil in a large pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Gently scoop up the dough with a floured spatula (turner) and carefully flip the apple fritter over into the hot oil. (May cook several at a time, but don’t overcrowd the doughnuts.) Cook roughly 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove and place on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch any excess oil.
6 ) Mix the glaze ingredients in a 13×9-inch dish. Glaze doughnuts while still slightly warm. Place a doughnut into the glaze, and turn it over. Spoon glaze over the apple fritter as needed to cover the whole surface. Place the doughnut back onto the cooling rack and allow glaze to set. Store any leftover doughnuts in an airtight container.
Notes for Apple Fritters Recipe:
If you like lots of apples to the dough, use 18 rolls instead of 24.
