How to make Apple Beignets (Apple Fritters)

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

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

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

Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.

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

Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, 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 with powdered sugar before serving.
