Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups diced apples. (about 2-3 apples peeled)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
VANILLA GLAZE
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 tbsp milk add more as needed.
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder, in a large bowl; whisk until thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl, add the milk and egg, whisk together until combined; add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix just until everything is incorporated.
- Add to the batter and gently stir in. Be careful to not move the apples around too much.
Use a candy thermometer and once the oil reaches about 375°F, grease a 1/4 cup measuring cup with baking spray, and measure out 1/4 cup batter.
- Be careful as you drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, (be sure to get some apples in each scoop); fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, flipping to make sure the fritters cook evenly.
- When the fritters are done cooking, remove from the oil and place on a cooling rack (lay paper towels under the rack to catch any drips).
- If you're going to roll the fritters in a cinnamon/sugar mixture, combine 1/4 cup sugar with 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. When the fritters are just cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- If you want a glaze on your fritters, simply combine 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla and 1-1 1/2 TBS milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle over fritters.
