Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples.
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
While the fritters are still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
Notes
For crispier fritters, ensure your oil is at the correct temperature before frying.
You can add a pinch of cardamom to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
