Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for dusting.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the apple fritter batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, toss the fritters in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best results.
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to avoid greasy fritters.
- Do not overmix the batter for a lighter texture.
