Ingredients
- Fritter Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- For Frying:
- Oil, for deep frying
- Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Fold in the diced apples. - Heat the Oil:
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). - Fry the Fritters:
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. - Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. - Glaze the Fritters:
Drizzle or dip each fritter in the glaze while still warm. Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then enjoy!
Serve these delicious Big Apple Fritters warm and enjoy!
