Apple Fritters are a homemade mini fried cinnamon sugar donut with the best simple sweet glaze! The perfect recipe to make at home for a 30 minute sweet treat or breakfast!
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the beaten egg with the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined, do not over mix. Then, fold in the chopped apples.
Heat a few inches (about 2-3 Cups) of oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes or until about 350 degrees.
Drop the batter by 1/4 Cup per fritter into the oil, cooking only two fritters at a time. Cook each fritter for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the cooked fritters to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Allow the fritters to cool for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Then, dunk in the glaze or drizzle over as desired.
GLAZE:
Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.

Notes
NOTE ON FRYING: Make sure that your oil is HOT before frying. Test using a small amount of batter and if it sizzles and turns golden right away, you're ready to fry. Only fry 2-3 fritters at a time to ensure proper cooking.
