Delicious homemade apple fritters featuring a crispy golden exterior and tender apple-filled interior, coated with cinnamon sugar for a perfect sweet treat.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced apples
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the fritters tender.
  4. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the peeled, diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  5. Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan and heat it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
  6. Fry Fritters: Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until the fritters turn golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping them crisp.
  8. Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  9. Coat Fritters: While the fritters are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use peeled apples to avoid tough skin in the fritters.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking and to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep fritters light and fluffy.
  • Serve fritters warm for the best flavor and texture.
