Glazed Apple Fritters Recipe

by

Glazed apple fritters are a delightful treat made from a dough mixed with fresh apple pieces, deep-fried to a golden brown perfection, and then coated with a sweet, sugary glaze. These fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a burst of apple flavor in every bite. They are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
  7. Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  8. While the fritters are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
  9. Dip each fritter into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed fritters on a wire rack to set.
  10. Serve the fritters warm or at room temperature.
