Apple Fritters

Step 1

Peel and core the 2 apples, then chop into small 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp cinnamon.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg and 0.5 cup milk. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 4

Fold the chopped apples into the batter until evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles, about 350°F. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding.

Step 6

Fry each fritter until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Step 7

Optional: dust with extra sugar or cinnamon before serving.
