Ingredients

For the Fritters

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent apple browning)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze

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

Instructions

1. 1. Prepare the Apples: Peel and dice the apples into small chunks. Toss them with the lemon juice in a bowl and set aside. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for extra flavour (optional).
2. 2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix). Fold in the diced apples.
3. 3. Heat the Oil: Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent frying.
4. 4. Fry the Fritters: Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to drop portions of batter (about 1/4 cup each) into the hot oil. Fry 2-3 fritters at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. 5. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk (for a thinner glaze) or powdered sugar (for a thicker glaze).
6. 6. Glaze the Fritters: While the fritters are still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the tops or dip the fritters directly into the glaze for full coverage. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips for Perfect Fritters:

• Ensure the oil stays around 350°F for even frying. Too hot, and the fritters will burn; too cool, and they’ll absorb too much oil.
• For extra crunch, try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
• Experiment with different apple varieties or add chopped nuts for texture.
