Ingredients

Units Scale

Fritters:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
    • Fold in the diced apples gently.
  2. Heat the Oil:
    • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
  3. Fry the Fritters:
    • Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches, ensuring the fritters donโ€™t stick together.
    • Cook for 2โ€“3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Make the Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed.
  5. Glaze the Fritters:
    • While the fritters are still warm, drizzle or dip them in the vanilla glaze. Let them set for a few minutes.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve warm and enjoy with coffee or tea.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss the apples in a little cinnamon and sugar before folding them into the batter.
  • Best served fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven for a crispy texture.
  • Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to carefully turn the fritters in the hot oil.
