Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—it should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Each fritter should be about 2-3 tablespoons of batter.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top or dip each fritter directly into the bowl of glaze.
Serve warm and enjoy!
