Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Standard flour for the dough.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder Leavening agent for the fritters.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetener for the batter.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Liquid to combine the batter.
- 2 large eggs Binding agent for the batter.
Filling
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples Use firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
For Frying
- Vegetable oil For frying the bites.
- Powdered sugar For dusting before serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, combining gently until just mixed.
- Fold in the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed throughout.
Cooking
- In a large pot or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown, usually 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure your oil is hot enough to prevent the fritters from soaking up too much oil. For a healthier option, consider baking the fritters instead of frying them.
