Glazed Apple Fritters Recipe

by

Glazed apple fritters are a delightful treat made from a batter mixed with fresh apple pieces, deep-fried to a golden brown, and then coated with a sweet glaze. These fritters are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with a burst of apple flavor in every bite. They are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a 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 (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 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, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and 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 pot to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of 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 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, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the glazed fritters on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
  10. Serve the fritters warm or at room temperature.
