Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 bowl Cinnamon sugar (for coating: mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
- 1 cups Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While still warm, toss each fritter in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Drizzle the fritters with caramel sauce just before serving or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your warm, indulgent apple fritters immediately!
