Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Dice the apples finely. Set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
  6. Heat oil: Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  7. Fry the bites: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  8. Cook until golden: Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them gently until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Drain: Remove the fritter bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Make the glaze: While the fritters cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk or water, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add more liquid, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Glaze and serve: Dip or drizzle the warm fritter bites with the vanilla glaze. Let the glaze set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier bites, ensure your oil temperature stays steady at 350°F. If the oil is too cool, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly different texture.
  • These are best eaten the day they are made while the exterior is still crispy.
