→ Glaze
11 -
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
12 -
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
13 -
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
02 -
In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
03 -
Gradually add wet mixture to dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms without overmixing.
04 -
Carefully fold diced apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor.
05 -
Pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain temperature.
06 -
Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter into hot oil without overcrowding. Fry each fritter for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack placed over paper towels to drain excess oil.
07 -
Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Add additional milk by teaspoon if a thinner consistency is desired.
08 -
While fritters are warm, drizzle or dip each into the glaze. Place glazed fritters on a wire rack over a tray to catch excess glaze and allow to set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to prevent greasy or undercooked fritters.
02 -
Use evenly diced apple pieces approximately 1/2 inch for uniform cooking.
03 -
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep fritters tender.
04 -
Drain fritters on a wire rack over paper towels to preserve crispness.
05 -
Glaze fritters while warm for proper glaze set without melting.
