Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until combined.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped apples, and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Fold the cooked apples into the batter mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully drop 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined tray.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to make the glaze.

Step 11

While the fritters are still slightly warm, drizzle them with the glaze or dunk them for a more thorough coating.
