Ingredients

Apple Fritters:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples or Honey Crisp apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Canola oil or vegetable oil for frying

Glaze:

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add milk, eggs, and applesauce. Stir to combine, then fold in diced apples.
  2. Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 375°F. Drop batter into the hot oil, cooking each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Glaze the Fritters: Whisk together milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Dip each fritter in the glaze, ensuring both sides are coated. Place on a wire rack to dry.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough fritters.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying for better cooking results.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature.
  • Consider using a dutch oven or heavy pot for more consistent frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 375°F for best results.
  • Drain fried fritters on paper towels before storing.
