APPLE FRITTERS

Category: Deep Fried

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tbs melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 granny smith apples, diced
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon sugar, recipe follows

In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl add the eggs and beat them with a whisk. Then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined. Then add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Then fold in the diced apples.

Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to around 350-375 degrees in a heavy bottomed pot. Drop batter by the teaspoon into the hot oil.

Be sure to flip the fritters so they brown on both sides. Fry until golden brown, about 2 & 1/2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Then roll in cinnamon sugar.

For the cinnamon sugar: Mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp ground cinnamon.

NOTE: These are best served warm.
