Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced
- cups vegetable oil for frying
For the Glaze (Optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain.
- While the fritters are still warm, prepare the glaze if desired. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter. Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature to ensure the fritters cook evenly.
