Ingredients

Fritters:

2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup milk
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 – 3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
Vegetable oil for deep-frying, approximately 4 – 5 cups – enough to come halfway up sides of pan or skillet

Glaze:

1¼ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla
3 – 4 tsp. warm water, thin enough to make the glaze “paintable”

Instructions

To prepare the apple fritters:

In a large bowl, or the bowl to a stand mixer, cream the sugar and eggs for 1 – 2 minutes with a mixer.
To this, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and milk; mix these ingredients well.
In a separate bowl, mix the chopped apples with the lemon juice.
Using a spoon, add the apple mixture to the batter and stir well, to combine.
Heat vegetable oil to 375°F.
It is very important to make sure the temperature is hot enough to fry the fritters correctly.
Once the oil is at 375°F, scoop out really large tablespoonfuls of the fritter batter and carefully and gently slide the fritter into the hot oil.
When they get to a true golden-brown color, carefully turn the fritters over to the other side, use two spoons to carefully flip them, and continue cooking, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side.
When the fritters become brown on both sides, flip again, if necessary, to make sure both sides are brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters, one at a time, to a paper-towel lined plate to drain and cool

To prepare the glaze:

In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, vanilla and water until you have a nice “paintable” glaze.
Using a pastry brush, brush this glaze over the entire top of the fritter.
Let glaze harden slightly, turn it over and “paint” the glaze on the bottom.
Place glazed fritters on wire rack; let glaze harden, then serve.
