Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Apple (peeled, cored, and diced into small cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0 as needed Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0 as needed Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 as needed Maple syrup (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 4

Gently fold in the diced apple and melted butter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4-inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, spacing them apart to prevent overcrowding. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon if needed.

Step 7

Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 8

Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Dust the fritters with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
