Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups finely diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the fritter bites for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritter bites with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Allow the fritter bites to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.
- To bake instead of fry, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- These fritters are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
- Add a glaze of milk and powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
