1 hour 10 minutes


Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ cups milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups diced apples

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk for glaze

½ teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze


Directions

1.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

2.

In another bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and incorporated.

3.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and no dry spots remain.

4.

Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6.

Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time without overcrowding the skillet.

7.

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

8.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9.

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.

10.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately for best results.
