Step 2: Make the Fritter Batter
1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
2️⃣ In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3️⃣ Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
4️⃣ Fold in the diced apples. The batter will be thick, which is perfect for frying!
Step 3: Heat the Oil for Frying
✅ In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
✅ Test the oil by dropping in a small bit of batter—if it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is ready!
Step 4: Fry the Apple Fritters
1️⃣ Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil.
2️⃣ Fry for about 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
3️⃣ Use a slotted spoon to remove fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Make the Vanilla Glaze
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2️⃣ If the glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Step 6: Glaze & Serve!
✅ Drizzle the warm fritters with vanilla glaze using a spoon or dip them for extra sweetness.
✅ Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve warm!
💡 Tips for Perfect Apple Fritters
✔ Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir until just combined for soft, fluffy fritters.
✔ Use Fresh, Crisp Apples – Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples hold their shape and add the best flavor.
✔ Fry at the Right Temperature – Keep oil at 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
✔ Drain Excess Oil – Use paper towels to absorb any extra oil and keep fritters crispy.
✔ Enjoy Fresh – These fritters taste best warm, right after glazing!
