Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the large eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Step 4
Slowly incorporate the whole milk and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, alternating with the flour mixture, until the batter is smooth.
Step 5
Gently fold in the diced apple pieces into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, carefully scoop the batter into the hot oil, frying 2-3 donuts at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry each donut for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup to form a smooth glaze.
Step 10
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze and allow them to set on a wire rack.
Step 11
Serve the apple fritter donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
