Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium, peeled, cored, and diced granny smith apples
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the right temperature.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While still warm, dust the fritters with powdered sugar.
Serve the apple fritters warm, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as caramel or a vanilla glaze.
