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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Gently fold in the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
While still warm, dust the fritters with powdered sugar.
Step 10
Serve the apple fritters warm, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as caramel or a vanilla glaze.
