- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2. In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in milk and vanilla extract.
- 3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (batter will be thick).
- 4. Fold in diced apples until evenly distributed.
- 5. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
- 6. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into hot oil, frying 3-4 at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- 7. Drain on paper towels.
- 8. For glaze: Whisk all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm fritters.
Notes
For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith. Fritters are best served warm but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Leftover glaze can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
