Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

vegetable oil, enough to fill frying pan 1/2 full (or use deep fryer)
FRITTERS
1 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp nutmeg
2/3 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp butter, melted
3 c apples, peeled and chopped
TOPPING
cinnamon sugar
thin glaze, confectioners sugar and milk
powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Preheat oil in frying pan to 350 degrees (or use a deep fryer).
2. Mix dry ingredients in large bowl and put aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together milk, vanilla, eggs and butter. Pour into flour mixture and stir until combined.
4. 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.
5. Drop batter by tablespoon into pan (I flattened mine down slightly immediately once in the pan). Don't crowd fritters. I fried about 5 at a time.
6. Cook until deep golden brown on bottom and batter looks slightly bubbly and dry (not wet) on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.
7. Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
8. 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 (as you can see from the picture), but for mine, I just sprinkled some on top.
