Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Fruit and Frying Ingredient:
- 2 cups (300 g) diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter in a separate container until thoroughly blended.
- Gently pour liquid ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Incorporate diced apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Prepare a deep cooking vessel by heating vegetable oil to precisely 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for optimal frying.
- Carefully drop generous spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, allowing each fritter ample space to float and expand.
- Monitor fritters closely, rotating them periodically to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Once perfectly crisp and colored, transfer fritters to a layer of absorbent paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Craft a delicate glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- While fritters remain warm, generously drizzle the glossy glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade and set slightly.
- Serve immediately, presenting the fritters at their peak of warmth and crispness for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and tartness in your fritters.
- Ensure oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F to prevent soggy or burnt fritters, using a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
- Pat apple pieces dry before adding to batter to avoid excess moisture that can make fritters greasy.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar consistency.
