minutesIngredients
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.5 cups milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups diced apples
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk for glaze
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and no dry spots remain.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time without overcrowding the skillet.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately for best results.
