Sure, here’s a delicious recipe for Big Apple Fritters:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (use a variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
- In a deep fryer or large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, for about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Allow the fritters to cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar.
- Serve the Big Apple Fritters warm and enjoy!
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding a touch of nutmeg or cloves to the batter for extra flavor. You can also serve the fritters with a side of caramel sauce or whipped cream if you like. Enjoy your delicious homemade Big Apple Fritters!
