Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 medium-sized Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.

Step 4

Fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for consistent frying.

Step 6

Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Each fritter should be about 2 tablespoons of batter.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent between batches.

Step 9

Once slightly cooled, dust the fritters with powdered sugar, if desired, for a sweet finishing touch.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Good Ol' Apple Fritters!
