Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Combine mixtures: Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Incorporate apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Prepare for frying: In a skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
- Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Bake fritters: Transfer fried fritters to the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Dust and serve: Allow fritters to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a deliciously indulgent dessert experience.
