Make these easy, no-yeast apple fritter bites at home. They fry up quickly, resulting in crispy edges and a soft, cinnamon-apple interior, finished with a sweet vanilla glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Combine the diced apple, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
  5. Carefully drop the batter by rounded teaspoons into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid crowding the pot.
  6. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until the fritter bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the fritter bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. While the fritters cool slightly, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a drop at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  9. Dip or drizzle the warm apple fritter bites with the vanilla glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, keep the batter cool before frying. If your kitchen is warm, chill the batter for 10 minutes before scooping.
  • These bites are great served warm, similar to how you might enjoy food from best meal delivery services but homemade.
  • If you are following a meal planning routine, these are a fun weekend treat.
  • You can dust these with cinnamon sugar instead of a glaze if you prefer a less sweet finish.
