Ingredients

Scale

1 cup apple cider
2 apples, peeled and diced
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
Oil for frying

Instructions

Reduce the apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat until it measures about ¼ cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, reduced cider, and melted butter.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently; fold in diced apples without overmixing.
Heat oil in a deep fryer to around 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes each).
Remove fritters from oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain. Dust with cinnamon sugar while warm.
