Ingredients
For the Fritters:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
3–4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
Heat the Oil:
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.
Fry the Fritters:
Use a spoon or small scoop to drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for your desired glaze consistency.
Glaze the Fritters:
While the fritters are still warm, dip them into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over them using a spoon. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
