Total time: 1 h
Yield: 12 fritters
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 2 large eggs; 1 cup milk; 2 cups apples, peeled and diced; Vegetable oil, for frying; 1 cup whole milk; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 1/3 cup sugar; 4 large egg yolks; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon for the apple fritters.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
To make the custard sauce, combine the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until steaming but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
Remove the custard sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
Serve the warm apple fritters drizzled with the luscious custard sauce on the side. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy, fruity fritters and creamy, decadent sauce.
