Ingredients

To prepare these delicious apple fritters, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Fritters:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon of baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

• 2/3 cup of milk

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 2 cups of peeled and diced apples (preferably Granny Smith)

• Vegetable oil for frying

 

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups of powdered sugar

• 1/4 cup of milk

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Fritter Batter:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

4. Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Fry the Fritters:

1. In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

2. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

3. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Prepare the Glaze:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

2. Dip each warm fritter into the glaze, ensuring it is fully coated.

3. Place the glazed fritters back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Once the glaze has set, serve the apple fritters warm.

2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Tips and Variations

1. Spiced Apple Fritters: Add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the batter for extra flavor.
