Ingredients
To make a batch of delicious Baked Apple Fritters, you’ll need the following ingredients:
1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6. 2 large eggs
7. 3/4 cup milk
8. 2 cups chopped apples
9. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10. Vegetable oil for frying
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s move on to the steps for making these delectable Baked Apple Fritters.
Steps
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can result in tough fritters.
3. Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. In a deep saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil is at the correct temperature for each batch.
