Ingredients
  

2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Oil, for frying

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Extra ground cinnamon (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a bowl, add the diced apples along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

    Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

      Fold in Apples: Gently fold the marinated apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

        Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. It is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles and rises to the surface.

          Fry the Fritter Bites: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and puffed.

            Drain and Cool: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritter bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

              Dust with Sugar: While they’re still warm, dust the fritter bites with a mixture of powdered sugar and extra ground cinnamon to taste.

                Serve: Enjoy the Apple Fritter Bites warm with a side of caramel sauce or whipped cream for dipping!
