Ingredients
  

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking oil, for frying

Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Set aside.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly coated in batter.

          Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of cooking oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

            Fry the Bites: Use a tablespoon to scoop small amounts of batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil, frying about 4-5 bites at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

              Drain and Dust: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritter bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While warm, dust the fritter bites with confectioners' sugar if desired.

                Serve: Enjoy your delicious Apple Fritter Bites warm, perfect for dipping in caramel sauce or drizzling with icing!
