Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups diced apples Use your favorite variety.
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works best)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by dicing your apples and setting them aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
Mixing
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture gradually, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; lumps are perfectly fine!
Folding
  1. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the pieces too much.
Frying
  1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat.
  2. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, place the fritters on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  2. While still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
  3. Enjoy your Homemade Apple Fritters warm, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit or your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Experiment with apple varieties! For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for about a month.
