Instructions
Creating delicious Apple Fritters is straightforward and can be achieved by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your Work Area: Gather all ingredients and equipment to make the process smooth.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well-blended.
3. Incorporate Apples: Fold the diced apples into the dry mixture until evenly coated.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it should be lumpy but not dry.
6. Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to allow the fritters to float.
7. Fry the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
8. Drain the Fritters: Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: While still warm, dust Apple Fritters with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy the fritters while they are fresh and still warm!
These clear steps will help guide you to create perfect Apple Fritters that everyone will love.
