  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 fritters

Ingredients

Fritters

  • 1 Cup all purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ Cup milk
  • 2 apples, Granny Smith, peeled, cored, diced into ¼-inch pieces
  • 3 to 4 Cups canola oil

Glaze

  • 1 ½ Cups icing sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, gently beat the eggs and milk together. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then fold in the diced Granny Smith apples carefully to evenly distribute them into the batter.
  3. Heat oil: Pour 3 to 4 cups of canola oil into a large pot and heat it to 375°F. It is critical to maintain this temperature to ensure the fritters cook evenly without burning on the outside or remaining uncooked inside.
  4. Fry fritters: Drop the batter by heaping spoonfuls into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to prevent them from being too thick. Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes per side or until they turn a golden brown color. Flip carefully using metal tongs and avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
  5. Drain fritters: Remove each fritter once fully golden brown and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels or a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet to drain excess oil.
  6. Prepare glaze: Mix together the icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk amount slightly to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over each warm apple cinnamon fritter or dip the fritters into the glaze. Allow them to cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Maintain the oil temperature at 375°F carefully to avoid undercooked or burnt fritters.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast, but you can substitute with other firm apples if preferred.
  • Flattening the fritter batter slightly before frying ensures thorough cooking inside and crispiness outside.
  • Use a cooling rack rather than paper towels if you prefer less oil absorption.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less milk according to taste preference.
