Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until combined.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped apples, and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
Fold the cooked apples into the batter mixture until evenly distributed.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined tray.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to make the glaze.
While the fritters are still slightly warm, drizzle them with the glaze or dunk them for a more thorough coating.
Serve warm and enjoy your apple fritter donuts!
