instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the apples. Set them aside.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.

    3

    In another bowl, combine the milk and egg, whisking until blended. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently.

    4

    Fold in the diced apples into the batter until evenly coated.

    5

    In a deep pan, heat oil for frying over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small bit of batter in; if it sizzles, it's ready.

    6

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes per side). Adjust the heat as needed.

    7

    Once fried, transfer the fritters onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

    8

    In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy; this will be your whipped cream topping.

    9

    To serve, plate the apple fritters, and spoon generous amounts of whipped cream cheese on top. Optionally, you can sprinkle extra powdered sugar on top for added sweetness.
