πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

For the Fritters:

  • 🍎 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 🍚 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • πŸ₯„ 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 🌿 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • πŸ§‚ 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 🌿 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 🍳 2 large eggs
  • πŸ₯› 1/2 cup milk
  • 🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • πŸ‹ 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 🌽 Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Glaze:

  • 🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
  • πŸ₯› 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 🍦 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

πŸ“ Directions:

Prepare the Fritters:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.

Fry the Fritters:

  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350Β°F (175Β°C).
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Prepare the Glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

Glaze the Fritters:

  1. Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  2. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Serve:

  1. Serve the apple fritters warm, and enjoy!
