For the Fritter Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups diced apples about 2 medium apples
For Frying
- Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss with a pinch of cinnamon and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
Dip the fritter bites into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the top. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
- Storage: Store leftover fritter bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: Freeze unglazed fritter bites for up to 2 months. Reheat and glaze before serving.
- Alternative Coating: Instead of glaze, toss the fritter bites in cinnamon sugar while still warm.
