Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently.
- Fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.
2️⃣ Heat the Oil
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- To test if the oil is ready, drop a small bit of batter in—if it sizzles and rises to the top, it’s perfect!
3️⃣ Fry the Fritters
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying 2–3 fritters at a time.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4️⃣ Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- While the fritters are still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top or dip them for a thicker coating.
Tips for the Best Apple Fritters
✅ Use tart apples – Granny Smith adds a great balance of sweetness and tartness.
✅ Don’t overcrowd the pan – Fry in batches for even cooking.
✅ Check oil temperature – Too hot, and they burn; too cold, and they’ll be greasy.
✅ Serve warm – Apple fritters taste best fresh and warm!
Serving & Storing

❄ Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days.
🔄 Reheat in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
Final Thoughts
