- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium-sized apples)
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil works well)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Make the Batter:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

- Fold in Apples:
- Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat Oil:
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).

- Drain and Cool:
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly.
- Serve:
- Once the fritters are cool enough to handle but still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
