Apple Donuts

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Dig a well in the center and add the eggs and vegetable oil. Mix with a whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, forming a thick batter.
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place the slices in a bowl and toss with the vanilla sugar. Let them sit while you prepare the frying pan.
3. Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to cover the bottom generously. Heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
4. Dip the apple slices into the donut batter, coating them evenly, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown, turning halfway through.
5. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Repeat the process until all apple slices are fried. Sprinkle the warm donuts generously with icing sugar before serving.
