Apple Fritter Bites 😋🍎
Ingredients:
For the Fritter Bites:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup finely diced apples (peeled and cored, about 1 medium apple)
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritter bites or dip them entirely for a sweeter treat. Serve immediately!
