Ingredients
-
For the fritters:
-
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4 –inch pieces
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp ground nutmeg
-
¾ cup apple cider
-
2 large eggs , lightly beaten
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
-
3 cups vegetable oil
-
For the glaze:
-
2 cups confectioners sugar
-
¼ cup apple cider
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-
Arrange the apples in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry paper towels.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cider, eggs, and melted butter.
-
Toss the apples in the flour mixture until well-coated. Stir in cider mixture until combined.
-
Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. In a dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, up to 350°F. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup and spoon, very carefully place 5 portions of the batter in the oil. Press the batter lightly with the back of a spoon to flatten. Fry until fritters are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fritters onto the prepared wire rack. Fry the rest of the batter.
-
Make the glaze: whisk all glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Top each fritter with 1 tbsp of the glaze, letting it set for about 10 minutes before servings.
