Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Make sure not to overmix.
Fold the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches.
Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Let the fritters cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
