Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • to taste Extra salt for sprinkling
  • to taste Honey for drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling and dicing the Honeycrisp apples into small pieces, ensuring they’re evenly sized for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the milk and melted butter. Blend well to create a smooth mixture.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples without overmixing.
  5. In a frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of cooking oil over medium heat. To check if it’s ready, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil—if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
  6. Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Once fried, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with honey while still warm for a burst of flavor, and enjoy!

Notes

If you're out of Honeycrisp apples, feel free to use any other firm apple variety. Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain airy texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
