Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and core the 2 apples, then chop into small 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp cinnamon.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg and 0.5 cup milk. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.

  4. 4

    Fold the chopped apples into the batter until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles, about 350°F. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding.

  6. 6

    Fry each fritter until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

  7. 7

    Optional: dust with extra sugar or cinnamon before serving.
