Recipe Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately.
