    Ingredients You’ll Need

    For the Fritters:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk works best)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced into small chunks (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
    • Vegetable oil (for frying)

    For the Glaze:

    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    Optional Toppings:

    • Cinnamon sugar (mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon) for tossing after frying

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Batter

    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
    2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix.
    4. Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

    2. Heat the Oil

    1. In a deep skillet or pot, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
