A delightful twist on the classic apple fritters, these crispy cinnamon apple fritters are a treat for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and granulated sugar until well combined.
Whisking the egg and sugar thoroughly ensures a smooth batter.
Gradually add the milk to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
Adding the milk slowly prevents lumps in the batter.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces, then fold them into the batter along with the cinnamon and self-rising flour.
Ensure the apple pieces are evenly coated with the batter for consistent flavor.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Maintain a consistent oil temperature to avoid undercooking or burning.
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Draining on paper towels keeps the fritters crispy.
Dust the fritters with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Dust the sugar while the fritters are still warm for better adherence.
Serve the fritters warm and enjoy.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
