Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups diced apples (peeled and cored)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preparing the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
2. Frying the Fritters
- In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Serving Up Sweetness
- Once drained, dust the warm fritters generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve the Big Apple Fritters immediately while still warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy exterior and tender, apple-filled interior.
