Cinnamon Apple Fritters

Making the Batter In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

2.In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk until well combined.

3.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

Preparing the Apple Filling In a saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

5.Once the apple filling has cooled, gently fold it into the batter until evenly distributed.

Frying the Fritters In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

7.Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Making the Glaze In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.

9.Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately.
