Recipe: Glazed Apple Fritters
Ingredients:
For the Fritters:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup (160ml) whole milk

1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Fritter Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples.
Heat the Oil:
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the Fritters:
Drop about ¼ cup of batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Fry 2-3 fritters at a time, depending on the size of your pot, to avoid overcrowding.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove 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. Adjust the milk for the desired consistency.
Glaze the Fritters:
While the fritters are still warm, dip them into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over them. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balance of sweetness and acidity.
Enjoy the fritters fresh for the best texture, but you can reheat them in a toaster oven for a crispier result.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.
Indulge in the perfect combination of crispy, sweet, and fruity goodness!
