Steps:
- 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 F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. 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). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with sausage and bacon!

Steps:
- Apples - Toss the grated apple with the lemon zest, juice, and the cinnamon and let sit a few minutes (to soften the apple). Batter - Whisk the sour cream, ½ cup of the sugar and egg yolks to blend. Stir in the grated apple (including any juices). In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir this into the sour cream mixture until blended, then stir in the melted butter. Whip the egg whites until foamy then add 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until they hold a soft peak. Fold the whites into the batter and use right away. Pour the oil into a tabletop deep fryer following manufacturer's instructions (or into a large, deep pot so that it is only filled about 3 inches). Heat the oil to 350 F (use a candy thermometer if cooking doughnuts in a pot). Have a baking tray lined with paper towel, with a cooling rack placed over it. Use a small ice cream scoop and carefully drop scoops of batter into the oil, making sure there is enough room between them to cook evenly. Cook the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side, then remove using a slotted spoon and let drain and cool for at least 10 minutes before dusting and enjoying. The fritters can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature on the day they are cooked.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
- Be sure to peel the apples before slicing them. This will help the batter to stick to the apples and prevent them from browning.
- Use a large bowl to mix the batter. This will give you plenty of room to stir and coat the apples.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the fritters. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep.
- Fry the fritters in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the fritters will not cook evenly.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Apple fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they are also a fun and festive addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect apple fritters every time.
