Ingredients:
For the fritters
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large apples, diced
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the glaze
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Make the fritters:
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add applesauce and milk, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples. - Fry the fritters:
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet to 375°F (190°C). Scoop about 1/3 cup of the fritter batter into the hot oil, spreading it slightly to flatten. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Place on a cooling rack lined with parchment paper to drain excess oil. - Glaze the fritters:
Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Dip each fritter into the glaze and let excess drip off before placing back on the cooling rack to set.
Enjoy your crispy, glazed apple fritters fresh out of the fryer or save them for later. Perfectly indulgent every time!
