Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Standard baking base
  • 2 medium apples, finely diced Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best
  • cup granulated sugar For light sweetness in the dough
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Helps create a fluffy interior
  • ½ cup whole milk Binds the dry ingredients together

Equipment

  • 1 deep skillet For even frying
  • 2 Mixing bowls To separate batter and glaze
  • 1 Wire cooling rack Prevents the base from getting soggy

Method
 

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl to ensure the leavening agent is distributed evenly. This prevents any dense spots in the final dough texture
  2. Stir in the diced fruit and milk until a thick, uniform batter forms. The mixture should hold its shape when scooped but remain moist to the touch.
  3. Drop small spoonfuls into hot oil and cook for three minutes until the exterior turns a rich honey color. Flipping halfway ensures both sides reach a consistent, toasted finish.
  4. Dip the warm treats into a simple powdered sugar glaze to create a smooth, sweet coating. You will see the glaze set into a thin, translucent layer as they cool slightly.

Notes

Chopping the fruit into very small pieces ensures they soften completely during the quick cooking process. I often add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for a deeper, more aromatic profile[.
