Vegetable oil for deep frying
→ Vanilla Glaze
11 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
12 -
1 tablespoon whole milk
13 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
04 -
Gently fold in the finely chopped apples to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
05 -
Pour oil into a deep pan or heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of at least 1 1/2 inches, and heat to 350°F (175°C).
06 -
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil, avoiding crowding. Fry each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 -
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
08 -
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
09 -
Drizzle the warm fritters generously with vanilla glaze. For added brightness, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For the best texture and flavor, serve warm shortly after glazing. These fritters pair exceptionally well with fresh coffee or spiced cider.
