Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Apples
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup (for dusting) Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to tough fritters.
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
In a deep skillet or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches and maintains the proper temperature.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Before serving, dust the apple fritters with powdered sugar for added sweetness. Serve warm for best results.
