Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped apples
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Spices and Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Glaze and Frying:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and sift together the dry ingredients, ensuring a uniform blend of flour, leavening agent, seasoning, ground cinnamon, and granulated sweetener.
  2. Whisk the egg and dairy liquid in a separate container until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Gradually merge the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a smooth, consistent batter without overmixing.
  4. Carefully incorporate diced apple pieces into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  5. Select a deep cooking pan and warm cooking oil to a moderate temperature, watching for a gentle shimmer that indicates proper heat.
  6. Using a serving spoon, carefully deposit dollops of the fruited batter into the sizzling oil, allowing each fritter to transform into a golden-brown delicacy.
  7. Monitor the frying process, flipping each fritter to ensure even coloration and complete cooking, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the crispy treats to an absorbent paper surface to remove excess oil and drain.
  9. Craft a delicate sweet coating by whisking powdered sugar with a splash of milk until smooth and glossy.
  10. Generously drizzle the silky glaze over the warm fritters, creating an enticing finish that beckons immediate enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter consistency and even mixing.
  • Pat chopped apples dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from making fritters soggy.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350-375°F for perfectly crispy exterior and fully cooked interior.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
