Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel and core the apples. Cut them into small chunks and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Step 3: Fold in the Apples
Gently fold the apple chunks into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5: Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 6: Make the Glaze
In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Adjust the consistency with more milk or sugar as necessary.
Step 7: Glaze the Fritters
Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top or dip them into the glaze for an even coating.
Notes
Storage Tip
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Serving Suggestion
These fritters are best served warm and can be enjoyed with a side of maple syrup or whipped cream.
Variations
Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the batter for added texture and flavor.
Frying Tips
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
