Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- oil for deep frying
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups apples peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 cup cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350F.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined. Stir in the apples until well combined.
- Working in batches, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes, depending on the size of your fritters.
- Remove the fritters from the hot oil using a slotted spoon or wire skimmer and drain briefly on paper towels to absorb some of the oil.
- While the fritters are still warm, gently toss the fritters in the cinnamon sugar.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the fryer. It is important to work in batches.
- If you prefer glazed fritters, you can combine 2 cups of powdered sugar with approximately 6 tablespoons of milk. Use this mixture to glaze your fritters.
- For even more apple flavor, switch out the milk for apple cider or apple juice.
- No cinnamon sugar on hand? Make your own by combining 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of ground cinnamon.
