Description
Crunchy on the outside, tender inside, each bite blends cinnamon-spiced apples with a sweet vanilla glaze that delivers a warm, comforting pop of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled and diced apple
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in the diced apple.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Remove the fritter bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Dip each fritter bite into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
Notes
- Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet batter
- Maintain oil temperature to ensure fritters cook evenly without absorbing excess oil
- Best served fresh and warm for a crisp exterior and tender interior
- Store any leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
