- Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into thin slices or rings.
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be smooth.
- Heat Oil:
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to around 350°F (180°C).
- Coat the Apple Slices:
- Dip each apple slice into the batter, making sure it is well-coated.
- Fry the Apple Fritters:
- Carefully place the coated apple slices into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning as needed. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain Excess Oil:
- Once the fritters are golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar:
- While the fritters are still warm, dust them with powdered sugar.
- Serve Warm:
- Serve the Breton apple fritters warm as a delightful treat.
These apple fritters are a wonderful dessert or snack, especially when served warm. The combination of crispy batter and sweet, tender apples makes them a delicious treat. Enjoy!
