Instructions

  2. Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. In a large bowl, whisk egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Add melted butter, then combine with the flour mixture. Fold in the apples.
  3. Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a pot to 350°F/176°C. Scoop batter into the hot oil using two spoons. Fry until browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Glaze the Fritters: Mix powdered sugar and water in a bowl to make glaze. Dip or drizzle over the fritters. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
