Servings: 4
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (1 cup)
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Eggs (2 large)
- Milk (1/2 cup)
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Apples (2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). To test the oil, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving, and enjoy them fresh for the best flavor.
