Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups peeled and diced tart apples (like Granny Smith)
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For Dusting:
- Powdered sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Apples: Peel and dice the apples into small chunks (about half an inch) for even cooking.
- 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- 3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.
- 4. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
- 5. Heat Oil: In a heavy skillet or deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). Test readiness by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.
- 6. Fry Fritter Bites: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop batter into hot oil. Fry for about two minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
