Easy Apple Fritters

INGREDIENTS

1. 3/4 cup of flour
2. 1 tablespoon sugar
3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
4. 1/4 teaspoon salt
5. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
7. 1/3 cup milk
8. 1 egg
9. 1 tablespoon applesauce
10. 1 large honey crisp apple peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces
11. 1/3 cup sugar
12. 1 tablespoon cinnamon
13. Vegetable oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg in medium bowl. Add milk, egg and applesauce. Stir just to combine. Fold in apples.
2. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon to large ziploc bag. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in heavy skillet, dutch oven or deep fryer to 375 degrees. It should be a couple of inches deep. Drop batter by small spoonfuls into oil, cook for 1 minute turn and cook another 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels for 1-2 minutes. Place in ziploc bag with cinnamon sugar mixture and shake gently.

NOTES

1. The fritter will puff up when cooking so in order to make sure they are cooked all the way through I used a small tablespoon to drop batter. If you drop them too big they will not cook all the way through.
