Ingredients

• 1 quart vegetable oil, for deep-frying
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup milk
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 cup cinnamon sugar

Directions

• Gather all the ingredients. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Pour in the milk, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the batter is well combined.
• Add the chopped apples and mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
• Working in small batches to prevent overcrowding, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.
• Fry the apple fritters for about 5 minutes, turning as needed, until they are golden brown on all sides.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• While the fritters are still warm, place them in a bowl and toss gently with cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
• Serve the apple fritters warm and enjoy.
