Don’t let the deep-frying turn you off - these fluffy apple fritters are so easy to make and the result is more delicious than anything you can find at the doughnut shop. - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

1.5 cups plain flour
3 tbsp caster sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
2/3 cup milk
2-3 apples, peeled, cored and diced
Vegetable oil for deep-frying

For cinnamon sugar

1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together eggs, olive oil and milk. Pour into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Fold through diced apples.
Step 2

To make cinnamon sugar, combine sugar with cinnamon and set aside in a medium bowl.
Step 3

Heat oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 190C measured on a sugar or meat thermometer. Use a tablespoon size spoon or ice-cream or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes each, turning halfway through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel, then place in the bowl with the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat.
Step 4

Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with custard or caramel sauce.
