There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh apples and cinnamon wafting through the kitchen on a slow morning. These fritters are a special treat that captures all the comfort of a homemade breakfast.

I love how the edges get perfectly crispy while the inside stays lovely and soft. Make sure to keep the oil at the right temperature so they cook evenly without browning too quickly.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon maple syrup

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
2
Add the diced apples to the dry ingredients and toss to coat them well.
3
In a separate small bowl, beat the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
4
Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
5
Heat about two inches of oil in a heavy pot to medium heat.
6
Drop spoonfuls of the batter carefully into the hot oil and fry for about three minutes per side until golden brown.
7
Drain the finished fritters on paper towels.
8
Whisk the powdered sugar, coffee, and maple syrup together until smooth to create the glaze.
9
Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm for the best texture and flavor. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container for a day and warm them in a toaster oven to bring back the crispiness.
