Ingredients:

For the Fritters:

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons of applesauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze:

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

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: Approximately 12 fritters

Instructions:

Preparing the Fritters:

1. Mixing the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Adding Flavor and Moisture

Incorporate the applesauce and ground cinnamon into the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

3. Creating the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Then, add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.

4. Folding in the Apples

Gently fold in the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.

5. Frying the Fritters

In a deep saucepan or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
Drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into the hot oil and fry the fritters until they are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 2-3 minutes per side. Be sure to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

6. Draining and Cooling

Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. This will help absorb any excess oil.

For the Glaze:

1. Creating the Glaze

In a small bowl, combine the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the glaze is smooth and has a pourable consistency.

2. Glazing the Fritters

Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple fritters, allowing it to drip down the sides and create a sweet coating.
