Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp table salt
- 2 tsp powdered cinnamon
- 1 tsp powdered allspice
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped, peeled apples (1/2 inch dice)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp powdered cinnamon
- 1 tsp powdered allspice
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (about 15-20 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, add apples, and stir until just combined.
- Set up a work area with paper towels, a plate, and your cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Once oil reaches 350°F, drop tablespoon-sized scoops of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
- Remove fritters with a slotted spoon, drain briefly, then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Macoun to hold their shape during frying.
- For easier frying, use a #40 cookie scoop to portion out the batter.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfectly crispy fritters.
