Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar or glaze (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Using two spoons or a small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Fry a few fritters at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over and ensure even frying.
Once cooked, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, allowing the oil to return to the proper temperature between batches.
Serve warm and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze if desired. Enjoy your Canadian Apple Fritters fresh!
