# How to Make It:
01 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan to a depth of 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter.
04 -
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
05 -
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
Transfer fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before glazing.
07 -
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth, adding more milk as needed for a pourable consistency.
08 -
Drizzle or dip each fritter bite into the cinnamon glaze. Let set briefly before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For an extra crisp exterior, avoid overcrowding the pan while frying.
