Golden Apple Fritters Recipe -

Consistent Size: Drop batter in even-sized portions for uniform cooking.
Monitor Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at 350°F for the best results.
Serve Fresh: Fritters are best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Ingredients

2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar or glaze for topping

Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.

Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4: Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch
Dust the fritters with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite glaze while they’re still warm.
