Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apple.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain.
  8. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.

Notes

  • For best results, use a firm apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.
  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth.
