Ingredients:

• 2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3-4 cups apples peeled and diced into small pieces
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs room temperature
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• Vegetable oil for frying

Glaze:

• 1 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-5 teaspoons milk

Directions:

1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In second bowl, combine the lemon juice and apples (this keeps the apples from browning.
2. Beat  together the sugar and eggs on medium speed. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in and mix until just combined.
3. Add the milk and continue to beat until well blended. Using a spoon fold the apples into the batter.
4. Fill a frying pan about halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
5. Add batter into the oil 1/4 cup at a time and let fry until golden brown. Flip and fry other side until golden brown. Test if they’re done by inserting a toothpick into the center and if it comes clean it’s done, if not, fry a little longer.
6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack and let cool. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
7. Once fritters have cooled a bit: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla, and 3 teaspoons of milk. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until nice glaze consistency is reached. Carefully dip the fritters in the glaze and place on a rack to dry.
