How to Make Apple Zeppole With Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the zeppole for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove the zeppole from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  9. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  11. Serve the warm zeppole topped with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.
