Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk (120 milliliters)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Oil for frying (approximately 4 cups or 960 milliliters)
Instructions
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry foundation for the fritters.
- In a separate container, thoroughly blend milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and liquefied butter until smoothly integrated.
- Gently merge wet and dry mixtures, ensuring minimal overmixing to maintain a light texture, then carefully incorporate freshly diced apples throughout the batter.
- Prepare a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heating neutral cooking oil to precisely 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for optimal frying.
- Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully deposit batter portions into the sizzling oil, allowing each fritter adequate space to expand and crisp evenly.
- Fry fritters for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, rotating once to achieve a rich golden-brown exterior and ensuring complete interior cooking.
- Transfer fried fritters onto layered paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and maintaining their crisp structure.
- Craft a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla, creating a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Generously drizzle the glossy glaze over warm fritters, allowing it to cascade and set slightly before serving.
- Present immediately while still warm, offering a delectable combination of crisp exterior and tender, apple-studded interior.
Notes
- Ensure apples are finely diced to guarantee even distribution and consistent texture throughout the fritter.
- Use a thermometer to maintain precise oil temperature, preventing soggy or burnt fritters.
- Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising taste.
- Pat apples dry before adding to batter to avoid excess moisture that could make fritters greasy.
