Instructions
Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Heat oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying 3-4 at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Drain and cool: Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly.
Make glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm fritters.
Chef's Tips
- Apple Selection: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain oil at 350°F for even cooking - use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a little more milk if too thick.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1 day. Reheat in oven to crisp up.
