Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (whole or breast milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped apples (peeled)

Others

  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by measuring the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the finely chopped apples into the wet mixture.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
  6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the oil to heat up until it’s shimmering.
  7. Scoop the Batter: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small rounds of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry Fritters: Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Be cautious; the oil will be hot.
  9. Remove and Drain: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Dust with Sugar: If desired, lightly dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and tender.
  • Make sure the oil is properly heated to avoid greasy fritters.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative, but consistency might vary.
  • Removing the peel from apples ensures a smoother texture for the baby.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
