Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 medium Granny Smith apple
1 medium Macintosh apple
2 cups pancake mix
1 ¼ cups water
1 cup diced cooked ham
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Peel and core both apples, then grate into a bowl. Add pancake mix, water, ham, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; mix until fully combined.
Heat 3 inches oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Working in batches, drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and dry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Try not to overcrowd the pan or let the fritters touch each other. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining fritters.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
