Apple Fritters

The sweetness of apples combined with a crispy, fried coating makes these apple fritters a delectable treat. They are excellent as a dessert or for breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 cups diced apples peeled and cored
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Confectioners' sugar for dusting
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

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

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the whole milk

Mix well

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Fold in the diced apples

In a large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F 175C

Drop spoonfuls of the apple fritter batter into the hot oil, frying them in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side

Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze

Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple fritters and dust them with confectioners' sugar

Serve the apple fritters warm and enjoy!
