Apple Fritters
Ingredients
2 apples, peeled, and cored, and cut into ¼ inch pieces
2 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
¼ t. nutmeg
¾ c. apple cider
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 T. butter, melted
3 c. vegetable oil
Glaze
2 c. powdered sugar
¼ c. apple cider
½ t. cinnamon
¼ t. nutmeg
Instructions
Spread prepared apples in single layer on paper towel lined baking sheet and pat thoroughly dry.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk cider, eggs and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Stir apples into flour mixture, stir in cider mixture.
Heat oil in an electric frying pan and heat to 350 degrees. Add 1/3 cup of batter to the hot oil, around 5 fritters at a time. Press batter lightly with the back of a spoon to flatten. Fry until golden brown, 2-3 per side. Transfer fritters to a wire rack. Bring oil back to 350 degrees and repeat with remaining batter. Let fritters cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar, cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium bowl until smooth. Top each fritter with 1 heaping spoonful of glaze.
