Big apple fritters

To prepare Big Apple Fritters, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Now, follow these steps to prepare the Big Apple Fritters:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the melted butter until evenly incorporated into the batter.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

1. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
2. Drop spoonfuls of the batter, about 2 to 3 tablespoons each, into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown.
3. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Continue frying the remaining batter in batches until all the fritters are cooked.

1. Allow the fritters to cool slightly before dusting them generously with powdered sugar.

Your Big Apple Fritters are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm for the best taste. They make a delightful treat for breakfast or dessert.
