Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the apples: In a medium bowl, mix the diced apples with a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to release some juices, then pat dry with paper towels.

    Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay!

      Fold in the apples: Gently fold the prepared apples into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

        Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it's ready.

          Fry the fritter bites: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

            Dust and serve: While still warm, dust the fritter bites with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately, and enjoy the warm, delicious bites of apple fritters!
