Ingredients

FRITTERS

- vegetable oil

1 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon(s) baking powder

1 teaspoon(s) salt

2 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar

2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon

1-1/2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg

2/3 cup(s) milk

1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon(s) butter, melted

3 large apples, peeled and chopped (3 cups)

TOPPING

- cinnamon sugar

- powdered sugar

- thin glaze made with confectioners' sugar and milk

Directions

Preheat oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees F or use a deep fryer.

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl and put aside.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, vanilla extract, eggs, and butter.

Pour into the flour mixture and stir until combined.

Add apples and mix until well-coated. It may seem like a lot of apples per batter but this is the way it should look.

Drop batter by tablespoon into pan. I flatten mine down slightly immediately once in the pan). Don't crowd fritters. I fry about 5 at a time. Cook until deep golden brown on the bottom and the batter looks slightly bubbly and dry (not wet) on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

While warm, add your topping. I used cinnamon sugar but you can easily add a glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar. My girls rolled them in cinnamon sugar until they were coated. For mine, I just sprinkled some on top.
