Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare your apples by peeling, coring, and dicing into half-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs and milk gradually while mixing until smooth.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until well-coated but not overmixed.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test readiness by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust fritter bites with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar mixed with milk.
