Ingredients

2 medium, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes apples
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup for frying vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 3 tbsp granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1/2 cup milk until smooth, then gently fold into the flour mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 3: Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (350°F) until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately. Drop 2 tbsp batter portions into oil, add 1/4 cup diced apples to each, and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Transfer fritters to a wire rack, dust with 1 tsp cinnamon sugar, and drizzle with 3 tbsp warm maple syrup while still hot.
