Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • ½ cup granulated sugar + 2 teaspoons cinnamon for coating

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
  2. Stir in melted butter, beaten eggs, and milk just until the batter is smooth.
  3. Fold diced apples into the batter, ensuring each piece is coated in the fluffy mix.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F (190°C). Maintain this temperature for crisp results.
  5. Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding.
  6. Fry each fritter for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. While still warm, toss fritters in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
