Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Cooling Rack
- Parchment paper
- 9x11 Baking Sheet
Ingredients
For the Fritter Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons Applesauce
- 2 fuji or granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced small
- Vegetable oil for frying, as needed
For the Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk, adjust the amount to the consistency you like
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Fritter Batter
- Start by dicing the apples into small pieces and set aside.
- Start heating the frying oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together these dry ingredients.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, milk, and applesauce. Whisk this mixture together until a thick batter forms.
- Pour in the diced apples and fold together until combined.
- Take ¼ cup full of the fritter batter and place into the hot oil. Spread batter slightly in the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until each fritter is a deep golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat until all fritters are cooked.
- While the fritters cool, make the glaze.
For the Glaze
- In a separate bowl add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Whisk together until combined.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until a thin glaze has formed. If you feel it is still a bit too thick, add another tablespoon or so of milk.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and a cooling rack on top. This is where we will place the apple fritters after dipping in the glaze, so any excess can drip off.
- Take each fritter and dip into the glaze, flipping over and coating both sides thoroughly. Shake off any excess frosting and place on the prepared cooling rack.
- Repeat with all fritters and let the glaze set on them for 10 minutes.
- Enjoy the apple fritters!
