**Appelbeignets 2 Recipes**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 large apples, cored and thinly sliced
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 large egg
– 1/2 cup milk
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
5. Dip the apple slices into the batter, coating them completely. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing them in the hot oil. Fry the apple slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the appelbeignets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently flip them over halfway through cooking.
7. Once the appelbeignets are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. While still warm, dust the apple fritters generously with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
9. Serve the appelbeignets warm with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a cozy treat that will surely make everyone smile.
