Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 medium apple
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1/2 cup milk until combined.
- 2
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick and lumpy. Do not overmix.
- 3
Peel and core 2 apples, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rings. Dip each ring into the batter, coating both sides evenly.
- 4
Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a drop of batter—it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the battered apple rings in batches, without crowding, until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- 6
Dust the warm fritters with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream on the side.
- 7
Optional: add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter or sprinkle over the finished fritters for extra flavor.
