Ingredients

• 2 cups Apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 bowl Cinnamon sugar (for coating: mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
• 1 cups Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

While still warm, toss each fritter in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 9

Drizzle the fritters with caramel sauce just before serving or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Step 10

Enjoy your warm, indulgent apple fritters immediately!
