Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 medium apples, peeled and grated
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
4. Fold in the grated apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
6. Once the oil reaches 375°F (190°C), you're ready to start frying.
7. Pour the batter into a funnel or a squeeze bottle with a wide opening. Carefully drizzle the batter into the hot oil, creating a spiral or criss-cross pattern. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through using tongs or a slotted spoon.
8. Remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
10. Once all the funnel cakes are cooked and slightly cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
11. Serve the apple cinnamon funnel cakes warm and enjoy!
