Ingredients

For the fritters:

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

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Fritter Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Fold in the diced apples.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

  1. Heat 2–3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). A thermometer will help keep the temperature steady for even frying.

Step 3: Fry the Fritters

  1. Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  2. Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

Step 5: Glaze the Fritters

  1. Once the fritters have cooled slightly, dip them into the glaze or drizzle it over the top.
  2. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a flavor contrast with the sweet glaze.
  • Keep the oil temperature consistent for perfectly cooked fritters—too hot, and they’ll burn; too cool, and they’ll absorb oil.
  • Add a pinch of cloves or allspice to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.

Conclusion

These Golden Glazed Apple Fritters are a simple yet indulgent treat that will delight your family and friends. With their crispy exterior, tender apple-studded interior, and a sweet glaze, they’re perfect for any occasion. Give this recipe a try, and watch these fritters disappear in no time!
