Big Apple Fritters

2. Ingredients

To make these mouthwatering apple fritters, you’ll need:

• Apples: Choose firm and tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results.
• Flour: All-purpose flour works perfectly for the batter.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness to the batter and glaze.
• Egg: One egg helps bind the batter together.
• Milk: Use whole milk for richness, but you can also use almond milk for a dairy-free option.
• Baking Powder: This leavening agent gives the fritters their light and airy texture.
• Salt: Just a pinch to enhance the flavors.
• Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth of flavor.
• Oil: For frying, choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point like vegetable or canola oil.

3. Preparation

Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin rounds or chunks. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the apple slices until they are evenly coated with the batter.
