Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs. Add the unsweetened applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Once all the fritters are fried, dust them lightly with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Serve the fritters warm for best flavor and texture.
