Apple Fritter

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 2 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
• Oil for frying vegetable or canola oil recommended
• Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting

Instructions

• 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar,
  baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients until they
  are well combined.
• 2 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
• 3 Add the milk, pure vanilla extract, and melted butter to the beaten eggs. Stir
  until these wet ingredients are well combined.
• 4 Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently fold the two
  together until they’re just combined, being careful not to overmix.
• 5 Fold the peeled, diced Granny Smith apples into the batter. There should be
  enough apples to create a very chunky batter.
• 6 Heat about two inches of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Use a
  thermometer to ensure the oil reaches about 375°F (190°C).
• 7 Once the oil is heated, carefully drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into the
  oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
• 8 Fry the apple fritters for about 2-2 ½ minutes on each side, or until they’re
  golden brown and cooked through.
• 9 Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil. Drain them on a paper
  towel-lined plate or cooling rack.
• 10 Dust the warm apple fritters with powdered sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture
  before serving.
