Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into small dice
• Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional

Directions

1. Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix).

4. Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.

5. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time.

6. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. Dust generously with powdered sugar.

8. Serve warm.
