The Best Homemade Apple Fritters

Ingredients:

Fritter:

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

½ cup milk

2 large apples diced

Vegetable oil

Glaze:

3 cup powdered sugar

⅓ cup milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

Fritter:

In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to combine.

Add applesauce and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to about 375 degrees.

Scoop 1/3 cup of the apple fritter batter and place in the hot oil, spreading it down to flatten.

Cook on one side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip with tongs and cook another 1-2 minutes.

Place the cooked fritters on a cooling rack with a pan or parchment paper underneath to catch oil drippings. Continue with all the batter.

Glaze:

Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a medium sized bowl until smooth. Dip each fritter into it.

Place back on rack to harden and drip.
