Apple Fritters with Maple Cinnamon Glaze

Apple Fritters with Maple Cinnamon Glaze

2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup milk
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 large apple, peeled and diced into tiny pieces
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp maple extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3-4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
Oil for frying

Heat 2-3-inches oil in a deep fryer (or whatever you like to use for deep frying) to 365^F.

Combine the eggs, 2/3 cup milk, melted butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix just until combined.  Stir in the apple.

In a separate glass bowl, heat the milk and maple extract in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes.  Stir in the cinnamon and confectioners' sugar to make a glaze.  Set aside.

Drop tablespoons full of batter into the hot oil (I used my cookie scoop) and fry  until puffy and golden, turning once, about 3-4 minutes.  Remove to paper towels then dunk them in the warm glaze.  I fried them and my husband did the dunking.

We both agreed that these were delicious!  Made about 2 dozen fritters and they are best eaten warm! They get soggy after they've sat awhile.
