Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1/2 cup milk until combined.
Step 2
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick and lumpy. Do not overmix.
Step 3
Peel and core 2 apples, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rings. Dip each ring into the batter, coating both sides evenly.
Step 4
Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a drop of batter—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Fry the battered apple rings in batches, without crowding, until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Dust the warm fritters with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream on the side.
Step 7
Optional: add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter or sprinkle over the finished fritters for extra flavor.
