Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 cups diced apples (peeled and cored)
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, then stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apples.
Fry the Fritters:
In a large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Glaze the Fritters:
Once the fritters have slightly cooled, dip each one in the glaze, or drizzle the glaze over them.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
