Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups diced tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk (for thinning)
Instructions
For the Batter:
- 1. Gather all ingredients and peel and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- 3. In another bowl, beat milk and eggs until frothy. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- 4. Fold in the diced apples gently to ensure even distribution.
For Frying:
- 5. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- 6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about three minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
For the Glaze:
- 7. While still warm, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and enough milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle generously over apple fritter bites before serving.
