  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bites 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apple.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of the apple mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the fritter bites from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. While the fritter bites are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Dip the cooled apple fritter bites into the glaze, coating them evenly. Place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use a firm apple variety like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. You can also add a pinch of cardamom to the batter for extra warmth. These are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes. If the glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit more milk. If the glaze is too runny, add a bit more powdered sugar.
