Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1-2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Oil for frying
Instructions
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla.
Toss diced apples with lemon juice, then fold into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Whisk powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze, then drizzle over warm fritters.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor.
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for crispiness.
