Ingredients
Vegetable oil,
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cardamon
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons homemade vanilla extract
2 apples, cored and cut into small dice
( I use granny smiths )
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
Heat 3 inches of oil in Dutch
oven or deep fryer until thermometer
inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking
powder, cinnamon, cardamon 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 (don't over mix). Fold
in the apples
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 at a
time. ( Don't make them to thick or they will not cook all the way thru ) Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper
towels. Dust with powdered sugar.
Cardamon is optional. These are still really good with out it,but the spice really puts them over the top.
