Part 4/7:
Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding them together gently with a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to keep some streaks of flour visible for the best texture. Finally, add in the lemon-coated apples and fold until incorporated.
Frying the Fritters
Heat your frying oil to 350°F. Portion the batter into the hot oil using a 1/4 cup scoop or two large spoons. Fry about four to six fritters at a time to ensure even cooking. Be mindful of the oil temperature, as adding cold batter will lower the heat.
