Description
Warm, crispy apple fritters made with sweet apples, spices, and fluffy dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or a simple glaze (mix powdered sugar and milk)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and dicing the apples into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a frying pan or deep pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
- Once fried, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil.
