DRY MIXTURE INGREDIENTS
1 & 2/3 cup of all purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
*neutral oil for frying

WET MIXTURE INGREDIENTS
2 apples (any kind)
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
zest of 1 whole lemon
juice of 1 whole lemon
2 tbsp melted and cooled butter

DIRECTIONS FOR WET MIXTURE
wash, peel and grate 2 apples
add the zest of 1 whole lemon
add the juice of 1 whole lemon
toss all together to insure no browning(the lemon aids in this, as well as adding flavour)
add 1/4 tsp cinnamon
add 1 tsp vanilla
add 2 tbsp sugar
add 2 tbsp melted and cooled butter
mix all to combine and set aside

break open 2 large eggs and give it a quick whisk,
then add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup of milk and mix again ad set aside (you could have added it to grated apple mixture as well- totally fine)

DIRECTIONS FOR DRY MIXTURE
in a large bowl add your 1 2/3 cup flour
add 3/4 tsp cinnamon
add 3 tbsp of sugar
add 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
add a pinch of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
give it a whisk and add all wet ingredients to bowl and mix with spatula until well combined (careful not to over mix)

in a deep frying pan fill it with a neutral cooking oil with high smoke point (ex: canola, vegetable, avocado, coconut oils etc)

with 2 tea spoons - scoop a dollop of the batter(about golf ball size) and place gently in the heated oil. (to insure oil is ready, simply place a tiny bit of batter inside- when it floats to the top then that means the oil is hot enough)
fry for a total of about 2-3 mins total until golden on both sides (1 min or 1 1/2 min each side)
then lay or cooling rack to drip and cool off.

finish with some powdered sugar icing which is a mixture of powdered sugar and milk (aim for a thick consistency) dip and lay again on rack to have icing fully dry-
or you can add powdered sugar or simply leave them plain

these are moist, soft and pillowy and ohhh so good!!!! absolutely delicious! and as the apples are grated they are not hard at all, perfectly tender and a great distribution of apple flavour.

as always we thank you for watching and hope you give this recipe a try,
until then, continue to Love What UEAT
