Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced apple
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 0.25 tsp salt until well blended.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg, then add 1/2 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter; whisk until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — the batter should hold together but not be sticky.
- Step 4: Fold in 1 cup diced apple and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F.
- Step 6: Drop 1/4 cup batter per fritter into the hot oil, spacing them 1 inch apart to prevent sticking.
- Step 7: Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Step 8: While frying, mix 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar in a shallow dish for coating.
- Step 9: Roll each hot fritter in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated and serve warm.

Can I substitute ingredients in Edmond's Fun Fritters?
