Instructions
Prepare the batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine the beaten eggs, milk, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent tough fritters.
Prepare the apples
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Fold the apples into the batter gently until evenly distributed.
Pro tip: Chop apples into equal sizes for even cooking.
Heat the oil
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Use enough oil to allow the fritters to float.
Pro tip: Use a thermometer to ensure accurate oil temperature.
Fry the fritters
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pro tip: Flip fritters halfway through for even cooking.
Drain the fritters
Remove fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Pro tip: Keep the oil temperature consistent for each batch.
Dust and serve
Dust the warm fritters with icing sugar and serve immediately.
Pro tip: Serve with vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
Tips & Tricks

- Use firm apples like Granny Smith for a tart flavour that balances the sweetness of the batter.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil and ensure a crisp texture.
- Dust with icing sugar while warm for a classic finish.
