Ingredients
Scale
For the Fritters:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples, peeled and cored)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples. - Heat the Oil:
In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy to prevent overcooking. - Fry the Fritters:
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. - Drain and Cool:
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly while you prepare the glaze. - Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters. - Serve:
Serve the fritters warm, and enjoy their soft, cinnamon-spiced goodness.
