Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and dice 2 Granny Smith apples. Set aside.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of whole milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Create the Batter:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain on paper towels.

7. Coat with Spiced Sugar:
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Brush each fried fritter lightly with melted butter, then roll them in the spiced sugar until well coated.
