Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup plus extra for drizzling
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
- In a deep skillet or pot, pour enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix together the remaining maple syrup with a little powdered sugar to create a thicker glaze if desired.
- Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the maple glaze over the top.
- Arrange the fritter bites on a serving platter and serve warm.
Notes
- Store fritter bites in an airtight container at room temperature for best freshness.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal and use plant-based milk.
- Consider adding chopped nuts for extra crunch.
