Southern Apple Fritters

By Renna

Deep fried Southern Apple Fritters dusted with powdered sugar. All I have to say is... um... YUM!

Ingredients

• GLAZE:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup apples, chopped
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple.

Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1-1/2 inches deep. Heat oil on high. (360 - 375°F) Oil is ready when dough floats to top. Carefully add dough to oil in heaping Tablespoons.

Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack.

Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side.

Best served warm. Enjoy!
