Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 2 medium-sized apples)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

  4. 4

    Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. 5

    In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Using a cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

  7. 7

    Fry the Apple Fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  9. 9

    Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

  10. 10

    Once the Apple Fritters have cooled slightly, dust them with powdered sugar. Serve the Apple Fritters warm and enjoy! 175 Serves: 12 count Prep time: 20 min Cook time: 15 min
