To create these incredible Cinnamon Apple Fritters, simply follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat Oil and Fry: In a large skillet, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, scoop tablespoons of the batter and carefully drop them into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
