These never last long! You’ve been warned!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup peeled and finely chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in the chopped apples.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the fritter balls for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fritter balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
