Ingredients

For the Fritters:

  • 2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fritter Batter

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick enough to coat the apple chunks but still flow easily.

Step 2: Fold in the Apples

  1. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Step 3: Fry the Fritters

  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).
  2. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure the apples are evenly spread within the batter. Fry a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Prepare the Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
  2. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze for an extra fall-inspired touch (optional).

Step 5: Glaze the Fritters

  1. Once the fritters have cooled slightly but are still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the top of each fritter.
  2. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
