These little beauties made for an awesome Saturday morning before Christmas Breakfast. I made a few adjustments to The Pioneer Woman's recipe. I also need to make sure I buy a small scoop before I attempt these again. The drop them off the teaspoon trick made for some weird shaped fritters!
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. ground allspice
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 t. vanilla extract
2 T. melted butter
2 whole Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
Powdered Sugar for dusting
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold dry and wet ingredients together until just combined. Gently fold in the apples.
Heat a couple of inches of canola oil over medium to medium high heat. When it gets hot, test a little drop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles immediately and rises to the top, the oil is ready. If it burns quickly, lower the heat.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls (small size!) into the hot oil. You don't want them too large or the apples won't have time to cook before the batter is done. The fritters will rise to the top and most (if not all) will turn over themselves. It's kinda cool to watch.
Drain on paper towels while you fry up the next batch. When complete, give them a dusting of powdered sugar.
