Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Add-ins

  • 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples, peeled and cored)

For Frying and Finishing

  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until the ingredients are fully integrated.
  3. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the fritters light and tender.
  4. Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Heat Oil: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  6. Fry Fritters: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  9. Optional Dusting: If desired, dust the fritters with powdered sugar once they are slightly cooled.
  10. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the delightful crispiness and fresh apple flavor.

Notes

  • Use peeled and cored apples for the best texture and flavor in your fritters.
  • Maintain the oil temperature at 375°F for even frying and to prevent soggy fritters.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure fritters cook evenly and remain crispy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
  • For a lighter version, consider baking the fritters instead of frying, though texture will differ.
