We can all agree that any food fried would taste good, sometimes they’re even better when fried! Out of my all-time favorite is this delicious apple fritter that’s super crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside. You might even love apples even more once you’ve tried cooking them this way.

These apple fritters were made even better with the sweet and milky glaze it’s covered with, it’s a truly wonderful treat you can serve for dessert or a snack. Watch this video tutorial by marcy inspired on YouTube to learn how to make these apple fritters.

Ingredients for Homemade Apple Fritters:

Apple

2 apples, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp of unsalted butter
1 tbsp of sugar

Batter

1½ cups of all-purpose flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1½ tsp of cinnamon
1/8 tsp of nutmeg
½ tsp of salt
¼ cup of sugar
1/3 cup of milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups of vegetable oil, or more, for frying

Glaze

2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp of vanilla
4 tbsp of milk

How to Make Homemade Apple Fritters:

Step 1

Place a large skillet on a stove over medium-high heat, then add the chopped apples, and cook them for about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, then remove any liquid, and let them cool down completely.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar, then give them a good whisk to combine, and then add in the beaten egg and milk.

Step 3

Continue to whisk until combined, then add in the cooked apples, and give them a good mix until evenly distributed. Place a pot or deep pan on a stove, then add in the oil, and heat it until 350°-375°F.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, drop the apple batter by large spoonfuls, then fry them for about 2 minutes per side until evenly browned, and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with a paper towel to drain off the excess oil.

Step 5

While waiting for them to cook, prepare the glaze in a small bowl, simply mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and incorporated, and use it to glaze the apple fritters. Serve and enjoy!
