Homemade Apple Fritters

Homemade Apple Fritters

Ingredients:

 
1 heaping cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
dash salt
1 - 2 tsp. cinnamon (depending on how much you love cinnamon)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 T. butter, melted
1 egg
1/3 cup milk + plus more if needed
1 - 1 1/2 cups chopped apple
oil for frying
milk and powdered sugar glaze for dipping or just powdered sugar for dusting
(About 1 cup powdered sugar + 1 T. milk or more)

Directions:

 
Mix all dry ingredients together, slowly add the wet ingredients minus the apple. Carefully mix until well combined. 

Gently fold in apple pieces. The batter should be the consistency of a light cake mix. 

Once the oil is ready (when a test drop of dough floats to the top of the oil) then using a cookie scooper or soup spoon, place a few balls of dough into the oil. 

Be careful not to overcrowd and watch carefully for the underside to turn golden brown, then gently flip over and continue frying until done. 

Cook about 45 seconds per side, adjust cooking times based on size of fritters and temperature of your oil.

It is always a good idea to test one to ensure it comes out like you are expecting.

Enjoy...
