Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon (for dusting)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: beat the egg, then add milk and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the apple fritter batter into the hot oil.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon. While the fritters are still warm, sprinkle them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious apple fritters!
