Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in diced apples.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over warm fritters and serve.
Tips
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for best flavor.
- Keep oil temperature steady; too hot will burn the outside before the inside is cooked.
- These are best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
