sugar

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Water can be used to adjust consistency without adding cost.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is typically less expensive and works well for frying.

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.

Stir in pumpkin puree and chunks of peeled and chopped apple until well combined.

Heat canola oil in a heavy pot over medium heat.

Test the oil by dropping a little batter into it; if it sizzles and turns golden brown, the oil is ready.

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, then scoop them out and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle fritters with powdered sugar before serving.
