Apple Fritter Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat the oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil stays at the right temperature for frying.
9. Once all the fritters are cooked and drained, dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
10. Serve the Apple Fritters warm and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet apples and cinnamon in every bite!
