Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Apples
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup (for dusting) Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to tough fritters.
Step 4
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches and maintains the proper temperature.
Step 6
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Before serving, dust the apple fritters with powdered sugar for added sweetness. Serve warm for best results.
