Ingredients
13 ingredients- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup whole milk (180mL)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large apples ((about 1 pound/450g), peeled cored, and diced (Granny Smith apples, Honeycrisp apples))
- 2 cups powdered sugar (240g)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
9 steps- Fill a large pot or Dutch oven with vegetable oil 1½ inches deep. Place over medium high heat with a candy or deep fry thermometer attached to the side. Heat the oil to 350°F. Adjust temperature if needed.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top of the towels.
- While the oil is heating, make the batter. In a large bowl whisk together the flour sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Pour into the dry mixture. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together until just a few streaks of flour remain.
- Add the apples and mix together so all the apples are coated and the flour is incorporated.
- Once the oil is to temperature, scoop by the batter by about ¼ cup per fritter into the hot oil. I suggest frying about 4 to 6 fritters at a time.
- Fry until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue frying until golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to the wire rack and continue frying until better is all used up.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, and vanilla. You want a thin glaze, so add more milk if needed. Either dip the fritters in the glaze and allow to set on a wire rack or use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the hot fritters. Let the fritter sit for 10 minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving.
