Apple Fritters

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees. If a thermometer is not available, follow the test method in Notes below.

Step 2

Using a knife or kitchen shears, cut up the apple filling into tiny pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4

Add in the milk and eggs; mix until combined.

Step 5

Fold in the apple pie filling with a spatula.

Step 6

Drop the batter by ¼ cup full into the hot oil, spread them with a spoon to flatten the fritter out. Do not crowd the skillet or pan. Cook only 1-2 fritters at a time.

Step 7

Allow the bottom side of the fritter to become golden brown, flip and cook the opposite side to golden brown; about 2 minutes on each side.

Step 8

Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before glazing.Repeat for all fritters.

Step 9

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil. Place the cooling rack in the baking sheet. This allows excess glaze to drip down and not pool under the fritters.In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Spoon the glaze over the fritters on the wire rack. To coat the entire fritter gently dip into the glaze allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Place on the wire rack for the glaze to set.
