Apple Fritters

Ingredients

  • Apple Fritters
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1/3 cup milk (I used oat milk)

  • 2 eggs

  • 3 tablespoons applesauce

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples or Honey Crisp apples peeled cored and diced

  • canola oil or vegetable oil for frying

  • Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/4 cup milk (I used oat milk)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Make a well in the center and add 1/3 cup milk, eggs and applesauce. Stir just to combine. Fold in apples.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in heavy skillet, dutch oven or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter per fritter into hot oil; spreading it out as you drop. Cook each side until golden brown; approximately 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Whisk together 1/4 cup milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Dunk each fritters in the glaze turning over to make sure both sides coated. Place on wire racks to air dry and drip.
