Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled and chopped
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Peel and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk. Combine this with the dry ingredients until just mixed; lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the apple pieces until evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Test by dropping in a small spoonful of batter—if it sizzles, it's ready.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar.
