Recipe: Glazed Apple Fritters

Ingredients:

For the Fritters:

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

⅔ cup (160ml) whole milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups (about 2 medium) apples, peeled, cored, and diced

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Glaze:

1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the Fritter Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the diced apples.

Heat the Oil:

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Fritters:

Drop about ¼ cup of batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Fry 2-3 fritters at a time, depending on the size of your pot, to avoid overcrowding.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Make the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for the desired consistency.

Glaze the Fritters:

While the fritters are still warm, dip them into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over them. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balance of sweetness and acidity.

Enjoy the fritters fresh for the best texture, but you can reheat them in a toaster oven for a crispier result.

Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.

Indulge in the perfect combination of crispy, sweet, and fruity goodness!
