Apple Fritters

 

Ingredients:

 

For the Fritters:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Fritters:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
    • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
    • Fold in the diced apples.
  2. Heat the Oil:
    • Pour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches.
    • Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature.
  3. Fry the Fritters:
    • Carefully drop 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the hot oil, frying only a few fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot.
    • Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  4. Make the Glaze:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Glaze the Fritters:
    • While the fritters are still warm, dip each one into the glaze, coating them completely.
    • Place the glazed fritters on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow any excess glaze to drip off.
    • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy the apple fritters warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

These homemade apple fritters are perfect for a special breakfast treat or a delicious dessert. Enjoy their crispy exterior, tender inside, and sweet apple flavor!
