Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups peeled, diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in diced apples.
3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (about 350°F / 175°C).
4. Using a spoon, drop small mounds of batter into the hot oil, frying 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches as needed.
5. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Optional: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create a glaze and drizzle over warm fritters. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
7. Serve warm alongside a chilled glass of 2024 Wild Child Riesling for a crisp, sweet, and perfectly balanced pairing.
