Beignets aux pommes - Fruity Doughnuts from Normandy (gluten free)

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in the diced apples gently into the batter.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry the beignets for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Remove the beignets from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Dust the warm beignets with powdered sugar before serving.
