Ingredients
2 cups peeled and diced apples
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, even pieces and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until mixed; do not overmix.
5. Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
7. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying 2–3 fritters at a time.
8. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
11. Drizzle glaze over warm fritters or dip them directly into the glaze.
12. Let set for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches for best texture.
Make sure the oil stays consistently hot at 350°F to avoid greasy fritters.
Use a thick batter to hold the apples in place and keep the fritters fluffy.
