Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil returns to the correct temperature between batches.

Step 9

Once cooled slightly, dust the apple fritters generously with powdered sugar using a sifter or sieve.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
