How to Make Liza's Apple Fritters
- Peel, core, and dice 2 medium Jonathan or Granny Smith apples. If desired, add 1/2 cup raisins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Gently drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, using a spoon to flatten slightly. (Alternatively, slice apples 1/8 inch thick, dip in batter, and fry)
- Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flattening the fritters helps ensure even cooking.
- Remove fritters from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Enjoy!
