Instructions
To Make the Fritters:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the applesauce and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet to 375°F.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of the batter into the hot oil, gently spreading it to flatten.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Use tongs to flip them.
- Place the cooked fritters on a cooling rack set over a pan or parchment paper to catch any oil drippings. Continue frying the rest of the batter.
To Make the Glaze:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip each warm fritter into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the glazed fritters back on the cooling rack and let the glaze harden.
