Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs and combine them with 3/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of diced apples.
  2. Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients to create a thick batter. Be gentle as you mix to avoid overmixing.
  3. In a deep fryer or large heavy-bottom pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Monitor the temperature closely.
  4. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. While the fritters are cooling, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of additional vanilla extract for the glaze.
  6. Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over each warm fritter.
