APPLE CINNAMON FRITTERS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
• Gently fold dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over mix.) Fold in the apples. Add enough apples to make a very chunky batter. You want the apples to shine though!
• Heat a couple of inches of canola oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. When it gets hot (about 350 degrees), drop a little drop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles immediately and rises to the top, the oil is ready; if it burns quickly, turn down the heat.
• Drop 1 tablespoon of batter into the hot oil, six or eight at a time. Sometimes they'll flip over by themselves; sometimes you have to flip them. Just watch them and make sure they don't get too brown, but cook them long enough to make sure the batter's cooked through, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining batter. Remove fritters and drain on a paper towel. 
• For the glaze (if using): In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract and whole milk.
• Dust the fritters very generously with powdered sugar, or dip fritters in the light doughnut glaze. Serve warm! 

Steps:

• In deep fat fryer or heavy 4-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 350°F.
• In small bowl, mix apple and cinnamon until well mixed.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using serrated knife, cut each biscuit horizontally to within 1/2 inch from edge to form a pocket. Spoon about 2 tablespoons apple mixture in center of each split biscuit; firmly pinch edges to seal. Shape each biscuit into 2 1/2x3 1/2-inch oval.
• In hot oil, place 2 biscuits at a time; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown. Using slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil; place on cooling rack.
• In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter and 1 tablespoon milk. If necessary, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm fritters.
