Name: Apple Fritters
Prep time: 16 min
Total time: 16 min
Yield: 16
Ingredients: 3/4 c. all-purpose flour; 1/4 c. cornmeal; 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar; 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder; 1/4 tsp. cinnamon; 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg; 1/4 tsp. kosher salt; 1/2 c. whole milk; 1 large egg; 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract; 1 large Granny Smith apple; canola oil; 1/2 c. granulated sugar; whipped cream

Step 1In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.

Step 2In a medium bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

Step 3Peel and core the apple. Coarsely grate half the apple and cut the other half into 1/4-inch pieces. Gently fold the apple into the batter.

Step 4Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Set a cooling rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Working in batches, drop small spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack and let cool for 5 minutes. While warm, toss the fritters in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
