Ingredients:
For the Fritters:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Heat the Oil: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Fritters: Dip the warm fritters into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Serve: Serve the glazed apple fritters warm or at room temperature.
