Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples Any variety you love!
  • Oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel, core, and dice your apples into small chunks. Set them aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps!
  5. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  6. In a deep skillet or pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. Test if the oil is ready by dropping a small spoonful of batter in; if it bubbles and rises, you’re good to go!
Cooking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an added sweet surprise, top the fritters with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
