Amish Apple Fritters

These fritters boast the lovely sweetness of apples complemented by a hint of cinnamon, all wrapped up in a crispy, golden-brown batter. They make for a perfect snack or dessert that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (such as Granny Smith)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the batter.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for that extra sweetness!

Enjoy your homemade Amish Apple Fritters warm, either as a sweet snack or dessert. These delicious fritters are a wonderful way to bring a touch of comfort and joy to your day. Happy cooking!
