Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by whisking together my dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, in a mixing bowl. The smell of cinnamon already gets my taste buds tingling! In another bowl, I combine the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once mixed, I gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. Then, I add in the diced apples and stir to coat them in the batter. The mixture is a delightful sight, bursting with fresh apple pieces, which give the fritters their tasty, fruity flavor.
