Ingredients
For the Fritters:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). You’ll need enough oil to submerge the fritters (about 2-3 inches deep).
2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3️⃣ Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced apples.
5️⃣ Fry the fritters: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6️⃣ Make the glaze: While the fritters are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a drizzle-like consistency.
7️⃣ Glaze the fritters: Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top of each fritter.
8️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Serve the fritters warm and enjoy!
