Let’s Get Baking!
Step 1: Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix!
Step 2: Add the Apples
Gently fold in the diced apples. Ensure they’re evenly distributed.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil (don’t overcrowd!). Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Make the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
Step 5: Glaze and Enjoy!
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled fritters. Let the glaze set before serving warm.
