In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and rum until smooth. 🥣
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with the milk, stirring until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while heating the oil. ⏳
Step 3: Fry the Apple Fritters 🍳
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat (about 170°C / 340°F). 🔥
Dip each apple ring into the batter, coating it evenly. 🍏
Gently place the battered apples into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). 🥞
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. 🏡
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches ✨
While still warm, dust the fritters with powdered sugar and cinnamon. 🍯
Serve immediately with honey, jam, or vanilla sauce for an extra touch of sweetness! 🍯🍦
