A quick and easy recipe for crispy apple fritters with a warm cinnamon glaze, perfect for cozy occasions and made with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium tart apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying (neutral oil like canola or sunflower)
  • For the cinnamon glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 3 tablespoons sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a smaller bowl, beat 1 large egg with ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples carefully.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, spacing them apart. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove fritters and place on a cooling rack to drain excess oil.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk. Add more milk as needed to reach a drizzle-able consistency.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over warm fritters or dip them individually. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt fritters. Do not overcrowd the pan. Use a cooling rack to keep fritters crispy. Overmixing batter can make fritters tough; a few lumps are fine. Firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best.
