Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- optional Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat until all the batter is used.
Once slightly cooled, dust the fritters with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
